Dermatologist,  's  Response
hi,
thank you for putting up your query on HCM.
as per your history, your grandma has got infection due to dog bite. cellulitis needs to be ruled out here.
if I were your treating doctor, I would have treated you with a course of antibiotics preferably of penicillin group, pain killers like tab ibuprofen,
and topical antibiotics like fusiderm or mupirocin cream twice daily.
here, I would suggest you to consult a doctor nearby for treatment. also don't forget to give antirabies vaccine to your grandma.
thank you
