Does taking two rabies booster vaccine prevents infection?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Human-to-human transmission of rabies is practically impossible from the situation you described. Human-to-human transmission of rabies has only been documented in recipients of infected donor transplanted organs. Rabies is primarily transmitted from the bite of an infected animal primarily because the virus resides in the saliva or from contact with the infected nervous system tissue since the virus resides there as well. The symptoms and situation you have described suggest an upper respiratory tract infection which is usually caused by viruses although not caused by the rabies virus. It is documented that vitamin C supplements can shorten the duration of a viral upper respiratory tract infection. Staying hydrated by taking in lots of water can also help. Also, drugs like Strepsils or other sore throat lozenges can help soothe the sore throat. Over-the-counter cough syrups can help with the cough while you can also take 10 mg of Loratadine daily for the next five days to help with the runny nose. Viral infections such as these are self-limiting and should be over in three days to a week. If your symptoms are worsening or are not over in a week you may need further care from a physical physician. I hope I have been of help.

Thank you.
