Spitz Dog Bite
I had taken 4 doses of ARV for a cat scratch, and I also uploaded the prescription picture. But today I was bitten by a Spitz dog. So what should I do now? Actually, I have already consulted a doctor. The place where I was bitten is slightly swollen and feels a bit hard, and I also have pain in my hand. The doctor said this is normal.
He told me to come tomorrow to take 2 booster doses, but he advised me not to take RIG. I am a bit scared, so I am messaging here for help. I have shared today's and previous doctor's prescriptions and pictures of them. Please help me.

You have already completed course of vaccine, so you just need 2 booster doses.
RIG, not needed.
Clean the bite site thoroughly with soap and water. For pain and swelling, you can apply some cold compression , take tab ibuprofen 400mg one every 8hours for 2 to 3 days.
Tab pantaprazole 20mg one before breakfast for 3 days.
