Is It Normal To Have Swelling On Dog Bite Area Even After Vaccination?
My husband stepped over a street dog. Dog had bite him on his leg near ankle, just lil blood like scratch has come out. He got Injections T.T.- 0.5 ml, ARS -3000, and Nanreacting (can't sure the name) within two hours. He got swelling on his wound now...Is that normal?

Hi,
On dog bite site there might be having some infection or some hematoma formed giving this problem.
Nothing to worry, this is common if bite is deep or induration is there.
So if there is infection he might require one course of antibiotic for 3 days.
Clean the part with antiseptic lotion and apply antibiotic cream.
Ok and take care.
