Is It Normal Of Having Swelling On Thumb Due To Dog S Bite?
Hi Dr. Mintz. I got bitten by a dog about 2 1/2 months ago on bottom last joint of my thumb. The dog was current with rabies shots. My thumb is still slightly swollen and I cannot bend it all the way down as I use to. Is this normal and will the slight swelling ever go away? Should I see a Dr.?

Hi
I can understand your concern.
It appears that you have apparently an infected wound or ligament sprain of the thumb following the dog bite.
I would suggest you to be examined by a doctor for proper evaluation & treatment.
Click thanks.
