Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Rabies is 100% fatal, but it is 100% preventable by proper and adequate treatment. You should wash your wound thoroughly with soap and water for 15 mins. You require 5 doses of antirabies vaccine on days 0, 3, 7, 14 and 28. The vaccine should be taken on to the shoulder by intramuscular route. Inj TT should be taken. A course of antibiotic like Tab Augmenting, twice daily for 5 days. Thank you.
