In the event of a more serious dog scratch bite, those present should immediately call "120" for medical assistance. Those who have the ability to provide first aid can check the child's injuries and confirm whether they are conscious, breathing, pulse, bleeding and other physical conditions. In order to prevent the possible spread of rabies, if the injury is mild, you can treat the wound yourself first, or clean the wound with the help of medical personnel, and then rush to the hospital for rabies vaccination as soon as possible.

After the injured person who has undergone pre-hospital first aid is transferred to the hospital, further rescue, monitoring and ** will be carried out according to the condition of the injury. To actively prevent the spread of rabies, people who are bitten by dogs need to be vaccinated against rabies and, if necessary, given human rabies immune globulin.

After vaccination, you should stay at the vaccination site for 30 minutes, and you can only leave after there is no abnormal situation, and if there is an adverse reaction, you should immediately report to the vaccination unit and consult. In addition, it is necessary to ensure the cleanliness of the injection site to prevent secondary infection, do not rub the vaccination site after vaccination, and do not take a bath on the day.
