<human>: Hello Doctor. I have got a pint-sized bite in my nose by my cousin s dog. Though no bleeding was there but i saw a less than pinch blood when i inserted my finger into my nose. The dog was vaccinated. Moreover i have already taken anti tetanus and 5 anti-rabies dose 1 month before after getting a stray dog bite. So do i have to take anti rabies injection further? Please Help.
<bot>: Hello Thanks for writing to ChatDoctor1. Just check with the veterinary doctor if the dog is completely immunized for rabies2. If you have taken the whole course of rabies just 1 month ago that would be enough, no need of further dosages3. Still observe the dog for 10 days, If dog develops any symptom of rabies I advise to take anti rabies immunoglobulin in and around the site of bite/scratch. Discuss this with your doctor and then decide.  Hope I have answered your query. Get well soon.
