Suggest Treatment For Swollen Large Bruise Caused By Dog Bite
I was bitten by a dog last week. It turned into a really big bruise and was swollen. 4 days later I broke out in hives. This is day 5 with hives all over my body.. I have recieved benadryl shots and steroid shots and more antihistamine pills because the doctor thinks it is food related but I havent eaten anything different or out of the ordinary and it s not getting better. It s actually getting worse.. Could this dog bite be the reason why my hives are so horrible?

Hello,
The hives does not seem to be related to the dog bite. They can be related to a food allergy, I agree with your doctor. I suggest to continue the antihistamines and Benadryl shots until the hives will be relieved.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
