MGA PAUNANG LUNAS SA KAGAT NG ASO | RABIES TREATMENT | HOW TO TREAT RABIES

Treating rabies involves immediate and thorough action:

Clean the Wound
Wash the bite or scratch thoroughly with soap and water for at least 15 minutes. This helps reduce the amount of virus in the wound. Apply an antiseptic like iodine or alcohol to disinfect.

Seek Medical Attention Immediately
Contact a healthcare provider or go to the nearest hospital as soon as possible. Even if the wound seems minor, rabies is deadly if untreated.

Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)

Rabies Immunoglobulin (RIG): Administered to provide immediate antibodies to neutralize the virus. It is injected directly into and around the wound if possible.
Rabies Vaccine: A series of shots given over a few weeks to stimulate the body to produce its own antibodies. The typical schedule is a dose on days 0, 3, 7, and 14.

Monitor Symptoms
If symptoms of rabies (fever, anxiety, hydrophobia, confusion) appear, the disease is almost always fatal, and intensive care is required.

Prevent Secondary Infection
Follow the doctor's instructions for wound care and antibiotics if prescribed.

Report the Incident
Notify local animal control or health authorities, especially if the animal is unvaccinated or untraceable.

Preventative measures, such as vaccination for high-risk individuals and pets, are essential to avoid rabies exposure.
