How Can A Dog Bite Be Treated?
I have a puncture wound from a dog bite. It was infected but have had a tetanus shot, antibiotic shot and two oral antibiotics which I have finished. There is a lump under the wound. First is this normal and two is there anything I should be doing? The bite was 12 days ago. Maureen

Hello
As you explain the situation you have already taken the correct treatment probably by the infectionist specialist.Usually this is the treatment overall.However please follow your doctor's recommendations to be safe.
The lump will heal no worries you should wait a little
