Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Dogs are known reservoir of rabies virus and can transmit to human beings by biting. Rabies is 100% fatal, but it is 100% preventable by proper and adequate treatment. As there is no bleeding from the bite site, according WHO categorization it is categorized into Cat II. So cat II bite should receive following treatment.1. Wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water.2. Active immunization with anti rabies vaccine on days 0,3,7,14 and 28.3. Inj TT, 0.5 ml, IM4. A course of Antibiotics like Tab Augmenting, twice daily for 5 days. As you have been given In TT and started anti rabies vaccine continue the same. Thank you.
