What Causes Pain Around A Dog Bite Wound?
I got bit by a dog a couple of years ago. It bit me several places but one of the bites was very deep and took several months to heal up. It still hurts and sometimes wakes me up at night hurting. I have pain at the site of the bit and surrounding area. Since then, I have not felt well, lethargy, achy and generally feeling ill. What could that be?

Hi,
It may not be related to a dog bite.
As of now, is you can take analgesics like Aceclofenac or Tramadol for pain relief.
If symptoms persist you can consult a neurologist and get evaluated to look for rare causes like nerve entrapment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
