QUESTION OF THE DAY: These are questions asked by our viewers to the experts on the panel of Pediatric Oncall.

	Dr Sangeeta Sawant: A stray dog has bitten a boy, who has recieved two doses of Rabipur vaccine. Now this boy while playing caused teeth bite to another girl child. The parents of this girl child are worried whether thier daughter should receive Antirabies vaccine. What is your advice to the parents in this situation? Am I justified if I tell them not to give the antirabies vaccine,giving the following reasons: Human to human transmission is rare. This boy is recieving vaccine and hence has started developing antibodies. He can not secrete rabies virus without having other manifestaions of the rabies. Please guide me in this situation.
	Dr Rajeev: How do we differentiate between a capillary and cavernous haemangioma clinically?
	Dr Jawed: What is the most pathognomic & earliest sign of CCF in children?
