Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, you are bit by a dog, You should have the information, whether it is a stray dog, or mad dog, you should take 5 injections of anti rabies vaccine, as sheduled in the pack. and tetanus toxoid one injection.
If it is a healthy dog, 3 injections may be sufficient.
The wound is not healing means that the infection is resistant, or a mixed infection.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms ofloxacin ornidazole, and fucidic acid for local application.
wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
