Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As your son was bitten by a domestic dog over the head which has led to multiple lacerated wound. There was a bleeding from the sit of the bite for which your doctor has advised a proper treatment. For any lacerated wound following the dog bite your daughter should receive both active and passive immunization. Active immunization with anti rabies vaccine should be taken on days 0,3,7,14 and 28. The wound can be sutured only after administration of rabies immunoglobulin to prevent bleeding from the site which was done as per the WHO guidelines. As your daughter has received all this medicine I can assure that your daughter is safe and protected. Thank you.
