In our daily routine one may get bitten by dogs or cats. Pets are usually vaccinated against major diseases but there are times when you are unaware of the vaccine status of the animal.In case you get wound or scratch from such bites then follow these simple steps to avoid complications in the future.
1. Keep the blood coming out of the wound for some time so that micro-organisms may seep out of your body via blood.
2. Rub some carbolic soap (Lifebouy is a good example) on the wound/scratch for 2 to 5 minutes.
3. Wash the wound with pyodine. It is available from medical stores easily.
4. Keep the wound exposed to sun light.
5. Visit some hospital as soon as possible to get vaccinated. Post Graduate Medical Institute is one of such centers that do vaccines for such disease. This hospital is situated nearby Services Hospital Lahore.
Keep your pets vaccinated too.
