Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was bitten by a dog.... which has gone completely mad.....after that within 24 hrs I took titanus injection as well as rabipur. My question is that bitten area was not cleaned properly and I just applied some drops of dettol over there. Will this be a problem.
Hello dear user of HCM! I really understand your concerns!
The best thing you have done is that you applied anti-tetanus injection and also rabipur to protect from rabies, within 24 hours. In such cases they must be applied as soon as possible, since the moment of accident.
It's advisable to make a good wash with plenty of water to the wound. Anyway the disinfectant you have used helps too.
Just be careful and observe your wound for any unusual change, if it hurts, burn, or change the sensitivity when you touch the skin. If you have any strange sensation, with you skin your muscles, swallowing water etc, go immediateley to the ER!
I hope you won't have anything bad. Take care! Dr Eriol.
