Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Treatment depends on bite. If it is dog bite or any animal bite then you should take tetanus toxoid and rabies vaccination. If you are biten by fly or bee then you should take anti inflammatory drugs like steroids. Antibiotics are needed because you have pus formation.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
