Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Rabies is a 100% fatal disease but 100% preventable by proper and adequate treatment. Dog is the known reservoir of rabies virus and can transmit rabies by biting. As you were bitten by a dog you need to take In TT, anti rabies vaccine and passive immunization with equine rabies immunoglobulin (ERIC) around the wound. In addition to this you need to take oral antibiotics like Tab augmenting and pain reliever like NSAIDs. Thank you.
