How To Cure Swelling On The Toe After Dog Bite?
My moms dog steped on my foot and landed on the toe next to the pinky toe. At the time it didn t hurt but I started feeling numb an hour later. I thought it needed to be popped and I pushed on it and it hurt, so I stopped. A few hours later I looked at it and it had a bruise on it and was all swollen up. It has a knot near the joint on it. Should I go to the doctor or will it heal on its on. It doesn t hurt too much, just itches. Thank you!!
