So guys I have health anxiety and I'm scared that I have rabies symptoms. About a week ago I was bitten by my neighbor's dog (he is vaccinated and is still alive) and I didn't think much about it, but for 2 days now I've been having flu-like symptoms such as abdominal pain,nausea,insomnia,loss of appetite,pain in the back of my head,confusion and anxiety. I am terrified that those might be the early symptoms of rabies,I don't know what to do I need your guys help please!!

Did you go the hospital at all and have a tetanus shot? Normal first thing one should do when something like that happens to them. So if you didn't it might be worth still doing. But you are getting ideas and letting your mind run wild on you. The symptoms that you mention could be just about anything. From normal anxiety to the flu. Lot of symptoms overlap of various conditions. If it was me I would go get that jab and let them have a look at the bite. Last thing we need is any infection setting in. Not talking rabies here. just normal infection that we could get from any cut / bite. Try not to over think everything. That is all that is happening.
