Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Hard Bite Mark On Belly Button
I have a bite right next to my belly button that is swollen, red, hard and tender to the touch. I have had it for four to five days with no relief. There is no rash, the skin is not broken, there is no pus or head on it. I do not have a fever either. Not sure what to do.
Hi.. welcome to healthcaremagic.com and myself Dr. Atishay Bukharia would be answering your questions..
in your case systemic antibiotics Amoxicillinclavulanate 20 to 30 mg per kg body weight may be needed. If there is wound then topical antibiotics like fusidic acid can also be used. Anti-inflammatory medications like diclofenac and serratiopeptidase can also be given..
