Suggest Treatment For Wound Caused By Dog

TT booster, course of antibiotic, rabies vaccination after examination of wound
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HCM.
I have gone through your query.
For deeper bites or puncture wounds from any animal ( known or unknown immune status of animal), or for any bite from a strange animal:
When scratch is bleeding, apply pressure to it with a clean bandage or towel to stop the bleeding. Wash the wound with soap and water under pressure from a faucet for at least 5 minutes, but do not scrub as this may bruise the tissue. Dry the wound and cover it with a sterile dressing. Do not use tape or butterfly bandages to close the wound as this could trap harmful bacteria in the wound.
I would have put you on course of antibiotic and tetanus booster. Iv would have taking a decision on rabies vaccination after examination of would.
The drugs are prescription based agents, I would suggest you to see greatly l health care provider for evaluation at once.
Hope this helps
Take care
