What about rabies

summary

I'm a doctor in a hospital. I received a rabies patient last week. Because the patient saw a stray dog on the street, he went up and stroked it. Unexpectedly, the dog bit him and ran away with his tail between his legs. The patient thought it was ok, so he didn't get rabies vaccine in time. But he didn't expect that on the third day, he had a rabies attack. He was foaming at the mouth and had to bite something alive, which was similar to the zombies in the movie . Here I would like to share the experience of rabies, hope to help you.

What about rabies

First: after being bitten by the sick dog, the wound should be washed immediately. The key is the method of washing. When the wound is small, superficial and without large active bleeding, you can wash the wound directly with tap water or soapy water for at least 30 minutes. Try to wash away the virus that may enter the wound. After washing, cover the wound with clean gauze. For severe bite, go to the hospital immediately.

Second: if bitten by a mad dog, even a small wound may be infected with rabies. At the same time, it may be infected with tetanus, and the wound is easy to fester. Patients should be vaccinated against rabies and / or tetanus antitoxin as required.

Third: there is also a timely and correct treatment of wounds, timely whole vaccination can prevent rabies and reduce the incidence rate.

matters needing attention
