Suggest Treatment For Dog Bite

I was bitten by my dog and pierced the top of my right hand and a puncure on the underside of my wrist where my pulse is normally taken. Yhis happened 3 weeiks ago. There is a large knot on the top of my hand. My index finger is painful at the first knuckle and some tingling in the muscle towards my thumb. It seems like I am having some tightness going up my arm to my bicept and neck.The top of my hand is in constant pain. I am afraid this will not go away. Do you think I may have nerve and or ligimant damage and how should I proceed ?
