hello, i am a bit worried, my dog bit my finger playing around with me, and i barly bled, but i bled, im worried if i might have gotten rabies because after symptoms show, i heard that its too late to do anything, its been two days since he bit me, the cut looks fine, its not infected, i dont have any symptoms, i eat and drink fine, the only thing tht i have is tht im drowsy, but tht is because i was up all night worried the day i got bit, my dog shows no sign of rabies, my brother had told me he had gotten his rabie shots but seemed unsure at first, i feel completely normal except for the paranoia tht i might have gotten rabies, do u think i might be infected? or am i safe? p.s. my parents do not want to take me to the docter because they think im being foolish.
Thanks for contacting Chat Doctor with your medical concerns are worried that you may have become infected with rabies from a dog bite. This is highly unlikely as the dog has more than likely been vaccinated with the rabies vaccine. Also, the dog is not exhibiting any behavior that would suggest rabies. I recommend that you keep the wound clean with soap and water. I can reassure you that you do not need to worry about rabies. Hope this answers your medical question.
