How Can A Dog Bite Be Treated?
Hi doctor.. my son had a dog bite yesterday it s a street dog and the wound is not massive it s just teeth mark and reddish even though I took him to the local doctor and vaccinated. This s second time in 3 months hence am worried he might get any issues due to infection...he s 8yr old now.. the course of vaccination s 3..7 and 14 in his previous bite we missed one vaccination. Could you pls suggest shall I go for blood test to identify the infection
