Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

What are the initial and common symptoms of rabies? Is there any risk of overdose with rabies vaccines? I have taken 10 in four months.

Answered by Dr. Kiran. B

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

First of all one rabies vaccine will give protection for around ten years, no need of revaccination if you get vaccinated once and later get bitten by a stray dog later in next ten years. For some unknown reason even if you are vaccinated more than once no problem since it is a protein sub unit vaccine and side effects are limited. Initial symptoms of rabies are hydrophobia, disturbed sleep, agitation, and restlessness.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
