मुझे किसी जानवर के खरोंच लगने के बाद क्या करना चाहिए अगर मेरी बहन को काटा गया था और हमने टीका नहीं लगवाया था?

Client_9f1623

मुझे 2 दिन पहले खरोंच लगी थी और मेरी बहन को 10 दिन पहले काटा गया था, कोई खून नहीं निकला, बस खरोंच थी। हमारे आसपास कई लोगों ने खरोंच के बाद वैक्सीन नहीं लगवाई क्योंकि जानवर 10 दिन बाद भी जिंदा था और वे सब ठीक हैं, इसलिए हमने भी कोई वैक्सीन नहीं लगवाई।

Doctors' responses

When it comes to animal scratches or bites, especially from unknown or wild animals, the primary concern is the potential transmission of rabies, a serious viral infection. Rabies can develop from even minor scratches or bites if the animal is infected. The fact that the animal is still alive after 10 days can be reassuring, since infected animals usually die within that time frame if they had rabies. However, this isn’t a guaranteed indicator, and without observing the animal for a complete quarantine period of 10 days under veterinary supervision, there’s residual risk. Just because others didn’t get vaccinated and are okay doesn’t mean the risk was absent; they were likely just fortunate. Protocols advise considering post-exposure prophylaxis, especially if complete certainty about the animal’s rabies status is unavailable. Since you were scratched 2 days ago and your sister bitten 10 days ago, it’s important to assess your risk promptly. I’d recommend both of you consult a healthcare professional immediately to evaluate your specific situations and decide if rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is needed. Timely intervention is crucial as PEP is highly effective in preventing rabies if started before symptoms begin. Waiting could reduce treatment efficacy and increase risk if the animal was rabid. Self-care such as cleaning the wound with soap and water is beneficial as a first step but cannot substitute professional evaluation and treatment, particularly in rabies-susceptible incidents.

Well we got our rabbies vaccination yesterday and my sister is fine now her fever is gone. But I am scared because this is our 4th rabbies vaccination in last 2 year and I am scared of any kind of side effects of such frequent vaccination. I don’t want anything to happen to her after our vaccination she seems fine but I got rashes on the palm of hand. The rest of my body is fine it’s just a bit of swelling and rash around my fingers and palm
