If you are bitten by a dog, check the wound immediately. If there is no skin rupture and bleeding, wash the wound with soapy water and disinfect it with iodophor. Rabies virus is transmitted through blood, and the mortality rate of rabies is 100%. If you are bitten by a dog and show skin rupture or bleeding, you should immediately send your child to a regular hospital for rabies vaccine injection. Vaccination should be completed on time and in sufficient quantity to effectively prevent rabies virus infection. At the same time, during vaccination, wounds should be kept clean and dry, light diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and prevent strenuous activities.
