Hi doctor,
My child has a wound in his inner part of the foot. He is 3.6 years old. He is saying that a puppy bites him and also says injured from stone. We are confused and visited a doctor. He advised us to four doses of injection. Will it cause any side effect when there is no dog bite?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
If you are in doubt that dog bite has occurred or not, then it is always advisable to give the anti-rabies vaccine. There is no harm in giving an anti-rabies vaccine. You should give anti-rabies vaccine because rabies is a fatal disease once it occurs and there is no treatment for that. It is always advisable to give anti-rabies vaccine even if you are in doubt. Take care.
