Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As you were bitten by stray dog for which you have taken antirabies vaccine and tetanus injection. Proper management of dog bite is very important because rabies is a 100% fatal disease, but it is 100% fatal. The category of bite is very important in management of dog bite, if there is any bleeding it will be categorized into Cat III, for which passive immunoglobulin is required and should be administered as early as possible around in and around the wound. Complete the course of antirabies vaccine which should be administered intramuscular to deltoid. Oral antibiotics to prevent infection and topical antibacterial cream should be applied. Thank you.
