Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, For any dog bite you need to take proper treatment, because disease caused by this is rabies which is 100 % fatal, but it is 100% preventable with proper and adequate treatment. For your condition I would have suggested1. Wound wash under the running water2. Antirabies vaccines on days 0,3,7,14 and 28, should be given intramuscularly to deltoid muscle.3. Rabies immunoglobulin (Rigs) should be administered in and around the wound.4. In TT should be taken5. Oral broad spectrum antibiotics in combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid for 5 days.6. Topical metro cream. With this treatment your condition will be cured, and also it will protect you against deadly disease Rabies. Thank you.
