Hi doctor,
I was injured by a bone of a dead dog. The injury is on my right knee. I cleaned the wound with soap water and this happened a month ago. I am facing some problems like flu, body pain and headache for the last four days. How to know if I am affected by rabies? What are the tests needed to confirm rabies virus is in my body? Also, can I take post-exposure treatment at this stage? What are the good antirabies available?

Thank you doctor,
It is already 30 days since I injured. So, it is uncommon like others who are injured and take treatment immediately. Is there any blood or urine test to confirm if I am infected with rabies? I found several antirabies vaccines available. Which one is the best? Can rabies vaccine cause any symptom later?
