Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
For any dog bite you need to take proper treatment, because disease caused by this is rabies which is 100 % fatal but it is 100% preventable with proper and adequate treatment.
For your condition i would have suggested
1.Wound wash under the running water
2. Antirabies vaccines on days 0,3,7,14 and 28, should be given intramuscularly to deltoid muscle.
3.Rabies imunoglobulin (RIGs) should be administered in and around the wound.
4. Inj TT should be taken
5.Oral broad spectrum antibiotics in combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid for 5 days.
6.Topical metrogyl cream.
With this treatment your condition will be cured and also it will protect you against deadly disease Rabies.
Thank you.
