Dog Jumped On Breasts And Bruised It. Lump Formed. Treatment?

Hi, I have a dog who jumped off the back of the sofa and landed on one of my breasts when I was lying down, my breast bruised quite badly and a lump formed, I have waited a couple of weeks and have let the bruising go down but the lump is still there and I think it is actually larger.

There is no history of cancer in my family
I am not on any medication
And my general health is good
I am 5ft 7
And 11st

Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, it seems that you have suffered from soft tissue injury in your breast and needs medication.

You should apply locally antibiotic ointment.
Anti-inflammatory medicines like Ibuprofen twice a day after meals along with serratiopeptidase and an antacid will help in reducing the pain and swelling.
Antibiotic may be needed if it is infected.

You can go for a clinical examination by your doctor.

I hope your dog must be properly vaccinated and I would suggest you that you should get yourself vaccinated by antirabies vaccine after discussing with your doctor.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
