My son was bitten by a monkey 2 years ago he was 4 years old then. My husband said it wasnt dangerous so we didnt take him to a doctor. It healed within in 2 days, but  i heard today that it could be dangerous. What are the possibilities Im very scared
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Monkey are known reservoir of rabies, and it has all the potential to transmit rabies. If your son was bitten by a monkey he should have received post exposure prophylaxis. As it is 2 years after the exposure, the chance of getting rabies will be less. The PEP includes1. Washing the wound thoroughly with soap and water.2. Active immunization with anti rabies vaccine on days 0, 3, 7, 14 and 28.3. Passive immunization with anti rabies serum.4. Oral antibiotics like Tab Augmenting, twice daily for 5 days. Thank you.
