<s>[INST] my daughter was treated for a infection (pasteurella) after a dog bite. She was on 2 oral antibiotics and received 2 antibiotics by injection. Dr. released her a few weeks ago and the actually wound looks much better. However, she continues to have swelling in the ankle, it can be pretty severe at times. Is this normal? [/INST] Hello,It can be normal to have some swelling after and infection. If the swelling is severe though she may need to be checked for a blood clot in the leg. Have her see the doctor or go to emergency today to be evaluated for possible blood clot (deep vein thrombosis).Regards </s>
