Hello
Welcome to HCM,
As you were bit by pet puppy for which you havr been advised antirabies vaccine. I hope you have been advised five doses of vaccine on days 0, 3, 7, 14 and 28.
As you habe taken three dose of vaccine and the puppy is healthy.
Nothing to worry the symptoms of fever, cough and headache is may be due to other infection in the body. As the puppy is normal and not having any symptoms of rabies your symptoms is may be due to some othet infection in the body.
Thank you.
