Dog Jumped On Breasts And Bruised It. Lump Formed. Treatment?
Hi, I have a dog who jumped off the back of the sofa and landed on one of my breasts when I was lying down, my breast bruised quite badly and a lump formed, I have waited a couple of weeks and have let the bruising go down but the lump is still there and I think it is actually larger.
There is no history of cancer in my family I am not on any medication And my general health is good I am 5ft 7 And 11st
After reading your post, it seems that you have suffered from soft tissue injury in your breast and needs medication.
You should apply locally antibiotic ointment.
Anti-inflammatory medicines like Ibuprofen twice a day after meals along with serratiopeptidase and an antacid will help in reducing the pain and swelling.
Antibiotic may be needed if it is infected.
You can go for a clinical examination by your doctor.
I hope your dog must be properly vaccinated and I would suggest you that you should get yourself vaccinated by antirabies vaccine after discussing with your doctor.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
