Suggest treatment for dog bite
Patient: My dog bit my thumb just a few minutes ago. Most of it is just a bruise but it scraped some skin off and it bled slightly. I washed it with anti bacterial soap, poured peroxide over if and then put betadine solution on it. My dog is up to date with vaccines and everything but should I worry about it? Doctor: Hello dear!I have gone through your query and understood your concerns!I would say you to calm down and not to be worried about it.You have done a very good thing that you have washed it enough and disinfected with appropriate solution.If your dog is vaccinated regularly you are protected from severe conditions like rabies.I wish you a good health!Take care!DR ERIOL.
