Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
Rabies is 100% fatal but it is100% preventable by proper and adequate treatment.
As you were locked by the dog which has lead to some swelling in your body but thete is no bite marks in your body. According to WHO Categories this is categoried into Cat II.
I would suggest you to follow
1. Wash the area thoroughly with soap and water.
2. Take active immunization with anti rabies vaccine on days 0, 3, 7, 14 and 28.
Thank you.
