Greetings.
Welcome to healthcaremagic.
It was a good to hear that you had the important immune globulins which is where crucial to stop rabies in case of being bitten by a rabid dog. This would have neutralized the infection.
As far as the vaccine is concerned , you have to have 5 injections in total. a day of delay usually doesn't cause much problem and the time that has passed is a good sign ,because the risk of rabies remains for a few days . If there was no problems related to the rabies then you are in the safe zone. And let me tell you here that pain around the wound is not linked to the rabies. It shows either the wound was very deep damaging the muscles , which will take some time to heal or the wound is infected by some other organisms also. Easily available antibiotic will be enough to take care of this problem. But for that you need to visit your clinician , who will examine the wound and refer to surgeon if the wound required some cleaning.
I hope the answer was helpful. In case you need any further assistance, feel free to contact in writing.
