Internal Medicine Specialist, Dr. Anshul Varshney's Response

Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern.
If dog bite is very severe then Immunoglobulins shoudl be given.
Other wise, just complete the course of rabies vaccination.
i would also advise you to make sure thet the wound remains healthy.
In uncomplicated bites, no need of going to a specialist
This is my best opinion for you based on available details. If you have any further query please.
Stay Healthy.
Dr Anshul Varshney, MD
