How long can a person with rabies live

Rabies is caused by a viral infection. In addition to being isolated after the onset of the disease, rabies patients should pay attention to adjusting their diet in their daily lives. First of all, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and properly supplement the body with some easily digestible proteins. Try not to eat high-calorie, high-fat foods. Some foods are more irritating, so be careful not to eat them as they will not be good for recovery from the disease.

Diet and health care

1. What foods are good for the body when suffering from rabies?

1. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.

2. Provide protein foods that are easily digestible and absorbable, such as milk, eggs, fish, soy products, etc.

2. What foods should people with rabies avoid eating?

(1) Avoid spicy and hot foods: Spicy foods such as chili, pepper, mustard; spicy foods such as mutton, dog meat and other stimulating foods can aggravate the condition.

(2) Avoid salty, cold, and sweet foods: Salty and cold foods such as pickles and salted turtles can cause coughing, which is not conducive to the patient's rest and aggravates the symptoms. Sweet foods such as snacks, cakes, and barley can also cause the spleen and stomach to function poorly and aggravate coughing, which is not conducive to the patient's rest and aggravates the symptoms. They should be avoided.

(3) Avoid alcohol and coffee: Both can stimulate nerve excitement, induce manic attacks in patients, and aggravate the condition.

(4) Avoid eating foods that may cause irritation. Such as fish, shrimp, crab, chicken head, pork head, goose meat, chicken wings, chicken feet, etc.

Preventive Care

Currently, there is still a lack of effective treatment for rabies, and the mortality rate is close to 100%. Therefore, it is necessary to vigorously strengthen prevention work and quickly control the spread and prevalence of rabies. Carry out extensive publicity of basic knowledge on rabies prevention and treatment.

1. Do a good job in animal management and control the source of infection? At present, it is unrealistic to completely ban dog ownership in our country. The practices of European and American countries show that strengthening management is better than simple prohibition. Breeders should register their dogs and ensure that they are vaccinated. If you find stray dogs or rabid dogs, they should be captured and killed immediately. Any suspected rabid dog should be captured and isolated for observation for 10 days. If the animal is not dead, it is not rabies; if symptoms appear or death occurs, brain tissue should be removed for examination, and terminal disinfection should be performed, and the animal should be buried deeply or burned. Do not skin it.

2. Treatment of local wounds after a person is bitten The most effective means of preventing rabies is to remove the virus in the wound in a timely manner (within 2 hours) through physical and chemical methods. The processing procedures include:

(1) Immediately prick the skin around the wound with a needle and squeeze out the blood as much as possible or use a cupping jar to remove the poison. Avoid sucking the wound with your mouth to prevent oral mucosal infection.
