How To Treat Dog Bite Infection?

I got dog bit by my dog trying to break up a fight a nd my dog is up to date on his shot. Its been about 5 days and the bruising has went down but I have a knot under my skin. Im trying to avoid going to see a dr because I have no health insurance. Do you think this is normal? It doesnt look infected.

Dear Friend.
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
This can be cellulitis or local inflammatory swelling.
Discuss with your doctor about receiving rabies vaccine.
Also, you should get a TT injection.
I would also recommend you to send me photograph of the area where swelling is there so that i can give you an idea that what it can be and what are the treatment options.

This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
