How Can A Dog Bite Be Treated?
I got bite by my dog a couple about a month ago on my mouth and it cut my bottom lip in two places and it was bleeding a lot. after I stopped the bleeding my mom put a butterfly bandage on it to pull the tear together in both places.. it healed up but now I have two bumps or lumps inside my bottom lip.. what can I do to make them go away.
