How do you care for a nasty bite wound? |
A neighbors dog got on me about 10 days ago. I'm missing 3 chunks out my arm. I've gotten alot of puss out of the little one and some puss out of the larger ones. Nothing green though. They are all really swollen and I drain them about twice a day. Please help, no money to go to the doctor. Sorry to hear about that! well... you should write to your doctor and he/she might make an appointment. If you wait too long or don't think it will work, visit the local chemist and ask them about creams you can buy. the best thing to do is keep it clean and wear a bandage until the wound repairs itself. Remember to soak it with warm water and clean it morning and night! Wash it VERY good with antibacterial soap. Keep it clean and apply neosporin to the wounds. If you notice any redness around the wounds or if it starts streaking from the wound site contact your local emercency room. You also need to let amimal control know about the bite. The dog needs to be watched for signs of rabies, even if it has had its shots. |
