What happens when a child is bitten by a rabbit?

Children bitten by rabbits and other animals are advised to consult a medical professional for timely treatment. On the one hand, the wound needs to be disinfected and debrided, and on the other hand, tetanus vaccination is recommended. When a child is bitten by a rabbit, the wound needs to be treated. If the wound is only a minor skin abrasion without heavy bleeding, iodophor can be used to rinse and wipe the area, and tetanus vaccination is usually not necessary. If there is a large amount of bleeding, or if the wound shows exposure of subcutaneous tissue, it is recommended to go to the hospital immediately on the basis of applying pressure to stop the bleeding. For those with combined important vascular and nerve injuries, suturing of the vascular nerves is required. If the wound is only a skin laceration, the wound needs to be cleaned with hydrogen peroxide and iodophor, and suturing is required if necessary. Meanwhile, for deeper wounds, tetanus vaccination is recommended.
