What should I do if my baby is slightly scratched by a cat? Do I need to be vaccinated against rabies?

Question: A one or two-year-old boy was scratched on the face by a cat today. His skin was broken and bleeding. Does he need vaccination? Dr. Cui Lixia answered: Both dogs and cats may carry rabies virus. There is a certain chance of being infected with rabies virus if scratched by a cat. If you need to be vaccinated in time, the sooner the better, and the rabies vaccine should be vaccinated according to the course of treatment. Xiaokangjun added: Teach your baby not to tease cats and dogs on a daily basis, especially stray cats and dogs. Domestic cats and dogs should be vaccinated regularly, cleaned regularly, and pay attention to safety.

I have allergic rhinitis and am prone to colds. Can I get the flu vaccine now? Allergic rhinitis during lactation is easy to occur and colds often occur. Which medicine should be taken with relatively few side effects? Dr. Wang Jing answered: Vaccination is generally not recommended during pregnancy and lactation. Allergic rhinitis is generally related to seasons, cold, and air changes. You can avoid it by wearing a mask as much as possible. Topical medication is generally not absorbed into the blood and is not metabolized by breast milk. It can be used topically and has less side effects. Question 3: My daughter is eight months and three days old. When she washed her feet last night, she found that the big toe of her right foot is a little shorter than her left foot. The difference between the left and right feet was not obvious before. Is there any way to improve it? Dr. Luo Zhen’s answer: It doesn’t matter, no. Whatever the problem is, it won’t affect your future walking, so don’t worry.
