I'm a bit concerned about whether I need to complete the full 5-day course of Augmentin 625 if I'm already feeling better after just 3 days of taking it twice a day. Also, in the future, if I get mild cold and fever, is it okay to just use amoxyllin for 3 days instead of a longer course?

Question

I'm following an anti-rabies vaccination schedule with the intradermal route and my doses were on Days 0, 3, 7, and the last one on Day 28 which I'm supposed to get on 1st August 2021. I've already had 3 doses, but today a street dog scratched me with its nails, causing minor bleeding. There's no big wound, just a scratch. Should I take an extra dose of the vaccine? I'm not sure what to do and could really use your advice.

I'm really concerned about a cat scratch I got five days ago, and it could be a category 2 wound. I'm currently on the rabies vaccine, and I'm wondering if it's safe to take some antibiotics alongside it. Will that mix well, or could it cause any complications?
