Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, 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 there is no bite marks in your body. According to WHO Categories this is categories into Cat II. I would suggest you to follow1. 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.
