Suggest Remedy For Swelling And Stiffness In The Finger Post Dog Bite
I got bit by one of my dogs breaking up a dog fight. They didn t break skin, no blood only minor pain so I didn t think much of it. Today the finger is swollen, I can only bend partially and I also have a bruise forming on my palm below the injured finger. Do I need to see a Dr. or will this heal in time ?

hello,
i can understand your concern.
i would suggest an anti rabies vaccination on 0,3,7,14,28 days for prevention of rabies. since you have a contusion developed its advisable to get an anti rabies vaccination as early as possible.
for the pain and swelling i would suggest an anti inflammatory drug like tab aceclo sp(aceclofenac+paracetamol+serratiopeptidase) twice daily for five days. this would reduce the pain and inflammation.
kindly do not ignore and get an anti rabies vaccine.
hope you are satisfied with our response. thanks for choosing HCM
