Dr. Becker's patient is concerned he may have been infected with rabies. Dr. Becker says he will prescribe antibiotics. However, rabies is a viral illness and exposure should be treated with a dose of human rabies immune globulin (HRIG) and rabies vaccine given on the day of the rabies exposure, and then a dose of vaccine given again on days 3, 7, and 14.
Doctor's offices don't handle emergency medical care.
