Posted on Mon, 25 May 2015

Question: I was bitten on the calf over two weeks ago. I had three stitches in the worst bite.
My leg is still swollen and bruised and bleeding.
Should I seek further medical attention?

I should have said that I was prescribed two anti-biotics.

I would suggest you to consult your Physician for further clinical examination and assessment.
