Hello. Welcome to Chat Doctor, As you were bitten by a dog for which you have taken a dose of tetanus oxide and first doe of antirabies vaccine. As rabies is 100% fatal, but it is 100% preventable by proper and adequate treatment with wound wash, 5 doses of anti rabies vaccine and rabies immunoglobulins. Antirabies vaccine should be taken on days 0,3,7,14 and 28 on to deltoid by intramuscular route. The body pain is non-specific of animal bite, it may be due some viral infection. For this you can take oral NSAIDs. There is no food restriction while on treatment, only thing is, if you are an alcoholic or smoker you need to curtail it. There is no food fads and taboos. Thank you
