I've been feeling a weird pain in the bone area near my chest, just to the left of the breastbone. It really hurts when I press on it, and sometimes I get this sudden shock-like pain when I breathe. When I don't press it, there's usually no pain. What could be causing this?

View allI got bitten by a street dog and my wound is just skin peeling without any bleeding. The doctor recommended 3 shots of Rabipur or Verorab, but neither was available at my nearest medical store. The person at the store sent me to a government hospital where they gave me an Abhayrab shot and told me to get 4 more. But I'm worried because the Abhayrab dose seemed really small, like just 0.10.2 ml, using an insulin syringe on each arm, whereas Rabipur seemed like it's almost 1 ml per shot. Is the government hospital giving me too little, and should I switch to Rabipur from Abhayrab? I'm really anxious about this.
The dosage of rabies vaccine can vary depending on the brand and formulation used. Abhayrab is a suitable rabies vaccine and is commonly used in government hospitals. The dosage you received, around 0.1-0.2 ml per shot, is within the standard range for rabies vaccination. It is important to follow the recommended dosage schedule provided by the healthcare provider. If you are concerned about the dosage or considering switching to Rabipur, I recommend discussing this with the healthcare provider who administered the vaccine at the government hospital. They can provide you with more information on the dosage regimen and address any concerns you may have. It is important to complete the full course of rabies vaccination as advised by the healthcare provider to ensure protection against rabies.
