Question
The child was bitten by a dog on the inside of the lower lip, causing a skin break and bleeding. Do I need to get the child vaccinated?
Answer
Based on your description, the child’s lip bite is a more serious condition. It is recommended that you immediately wash the wound with soap and water and take the child to the hospital for examination. In cases of skin breaks, rabies vaccination is usually required to prevent infection. Never take it lightly; timely vaccination is essential for safety.
