Suggest appropriate dosage of antibiotic for a monkey bite
Patient: Hello, I was bitten on 17th february by a monkey. (one of my hands finger). The doctor gave me the tetanus vaksin, only one dosage, and antibiotic, but I´ve read that maybe in some cases it ´s necessary 3 dosages vaksin. At the moment I´m changing the bandage/curative in two days. I am in Indonesia, and in a week I Will return to my country Portugal. What do you think that I should do? Could you sent me an e-mail please? Doctor: HI, thanks for using healthcare magicMost persons would have received initial vaccination during childhood and is booster is given if needed eg with injury.It is likely that your doctor gave you a tetanus booster which is one vaccine.Vaccination against rabies should have also been considered.I hope this helps
