That is probably not a cut. It would have been a good idea if you had shown your foot that time to a physician. Not every dog is a rabid dog so don't worry a lot. If there was any history of that dog dying then maybe you need to think about it. Your case seems like a cat 1 wound which does not require any vaccine and only washing and application of an antiseptic would suffice which you had already done.

I would like to see a picture of the site of the bite and how long is the problem. It is the body's self response called inflammation which causes swelling at the site of injury. Also in long term cases there could be a growth of bacteria and infection causing swelling. There are medications which could help you reduce swelling. Consult me so that I could prescribe you.

Full vaccination under standard precautions immunity normally lasts for 3-5 years. But in case of re exposure with a confirmed rabies dog bite or street dog causing injury that is extensive and nearer the head or face or a street dog always consult a doctor or a surgeon that time. Consider 2 dose booster during that period beyond one year from now. It is better to be extra safe.
