Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was bit by my neighbors dog on my right ring finger, I washed it off with soap and water and peroxide. It doesn't seem like much to threat about. My nail is a bit bruised on one side. And the other had a tiny puncher wound, no bigger then if pierced by a needle. I am broke and cannot go to a hospital. any suggestions?
History of dog bite in your upper extremity. The dog is your neighbor's pet. if the dog is vaccinated against rabies than first aid and a dose of TT will to. If that is not the case then go for Post exposure prophylaxis vaccination regimen against rabies. In the meantime keep the dog under observation.
