My puppy bit me, wound is red and tender. Is it infected or rabies?

Question

I was bitten by an 2months old puppy and I already get my anti tetanus and anti rabies but the wound is red and tender to touch, is it already okay or normal or maybe it is getting worse? Do I have a rabies or my puppy has rabies? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | 1 month and 26 days old | 1.2 lbs

Tetanus and rabies vaccinations are good - glad you got that but you also need antibiotics. The wound sounds infected. Dogs have dirty mouths with a lot of bacteria. I suggest you go to the doctor and get some antibiotics. You are not getting rabies so don't be worried about that.
