Suggest treatment for dog bite
Patient: Hello, I was bitten by a pit bull on Monday afternoon while playing with a 3 year old. I was bit on my left calf muscle, the dogs Caine tooth sliced a spot in my leg open and around it is bruised really bad, it's a mixture between red,blue,green, and yellow. Around my cut its very red and extremely tender. I cannot wear pants due to them rubbing the puncture, is it normal for me not to be able to walk very good after being bitten? Doctor: This sounds like you have an infection associated with the dog bite. I recommend that you see your medical provider and start an oral antibiotic. In the mean time clean the wound well with soap and water. Dress the wound with a good cover bandage.
