Rabies Questions

No, no,no, not at all.
There is no chances of rabies transmission according to history.
No need to take rabies vaccination.
Be relax fully.

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.

Human rabies immune globulin is administered only once at the begening of anti rabies prophylaxis. To previously unvaccinated persons.
This will provide immediate antibodies until the body can respond to the vaccine by active producing antibodies of its own.
If the rabies vaccine is given immediately and appropriately to someone who was bitten by a rabid animal. It is 100 % eefective.

It can also spread if the animal's saliva gets directly in to persons eyes, nose ,mouth or an open wound.

Carefully re enact the incidence again mentally. If you feel that 1. It was a street dog and no way you can watch it for 10 days for its normalcy. 2. The saliva smeared on cricket ball some how entered inside the open skin by giving entry to your blood. If answer to both questions is 'yes' or'can't say. There is chance of contamination of blood with rabies germs. Then it is safe to complete the 5 dose course of rabies vaccine. You may also personally discuss with your doctor. The symptoms you go...more

I presume you have taken 5 dose course sometimes before 2 nd june. Then 2 booster doses. Subsequently one dose on 8 th june. In this case you have one year period of protection from 3rd june onwards. Only you need to consult an expert or surgeon if it was rabies animal, with deep lacerated wound nearer head. Otherwise you could have ignored it and avoided booster second time within 5 days again.

I presume you have taken 5 doses of vaccine. Followed by 2 booster doses. This will give immunity for one year. However alcohol is known to reduce natural immunity of body. 5 +2 post exposure doses is ok.
