my dog of five years bite me last tuesday. his top two k-9 teeth went aprox 1 in. into my fore arm. i emediatly cleaned the wound and continued every day with peroxide rubbing alco. and neosporine. now the wound has heald but i have a swollen area at the bite marks and it is hard as well. is this normal or is it infection? I have no pain or other symptomes!
Howell come to ChatDoctorwound due to animal bite may be infective and better to have antibiotic, hope you must have completed the rabies vaccine too, but for the safe side better to have antibiotic and best option is "Tab Ceding 300 mg twice in day for five days, if swelling does not come around then wound need to be explored, hope this information helps, take care.
