What Is The Remedy For Dog Bite In Children?

My son got a stray dog bite this evening on his ankle. He was adminsitered with a T.T injection and then given an Rabbie pure injection on his left side bump. He was given this treatment by one of my staff who took him to a ride in a two wheeler. Laten on We went to our pead and he suggested that rabbie wax is better medicine than the one already given. Since that injection was given on this back it wouldn't absorb and it has to be given in thigh bone only it seems. Though the bite was only to a small extent with a single teeth cut on his ankle, i'm still not satisfied with the treatment which was given earlier. Want to know the effects of such bite and a remedy to it.

Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.
I can understand your concern.

Whatever the extent of bite after a dog bite rabies vaccine has to be given. Please continue the rabies vaccination as recommended by your doctor. Please do not discontinue the vaccination and all the doses of that should be given. Some times we recommend immunoglobulin also.

Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
