[|Human|] Hello Doctor,My daughter played with stray dogs opening their mouths before two days. I guess her fingers touched the dogs tongue. Later she unknowingly kept one of her fingers in her mouth. What is the chance of her getting infected with rabies. What should I do to overcome the doubt. Thank you
[|AI|]  Hi & Welcome. I can understand your concern for your beloved daughter. Rabies is usually transmitted from saliva of the dog into blood stream of the victim through a broken or by licking open wound. However, Chat Doctor. The suspected stray dog of having rabies should be monitored for at least 10-14 days for the signs and symptoms of rabies it may develop following the virus shedding through the saliva. Besides, your daughter should receive 4 doses of anti rabies vaccine on day 0,3,7, & 14. If the dog is found to be healthy on day 10, the last dose (on day 14) may be stopped. Hope this answers your query.
