Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M.Forum.
Post exposure means after bitten by animal.
Injection schedule is as, day,

0,
3
7
14
30,
90.
Second schedule is as follow,
0,
3,
7,
14
30.
Both schedules are right and it depends upon the concerned doctors which schedule he like.
Antibiotics and pain killers are a normal course.
You are safe , in any way.
Good luck.
