Hi thanks for contacting HCM....
Noted at bitten area by dog you have swelling...
Yes you should consult doctor for it...
When dog bite occurs area should be cleaned immediately by soap and water....
The dog is biting many people in your street.
It might be affected by rabies.
So prevent rabies vaccination against rabies given in its full course....
Healthy and balanced diet taken...
If wound large then daily dressing necessary...
Take care.
Hope your concern solved.
