Is There A Need For Further Concern Of A Wound Caused By A Dog Scratch?

This past saturday I got scratched by my dog by his nail. It took 5 stitches to close the wound. The Dr. did not give me an antibiotic. The skin around the wound is red and tender and it fills like its going to pop open. What should I do? I do not have the money for anther Dr. visit.
