If you are bitten by a dog, immediately cleanse the wound very well. Dogs mouths contain quite a bit of bacteria that can be potentially harmful. Apply antibacterial ointment.
If the wound becomes (more) swollen, has purulent discharge (pus), is more painful, or has any red streaks extending from it, pr if you have a fever, see a healthcare provider.
Dog bites can be swollen, simply from the pressure from the mouth. They are likely to become infected if not treated appropriately. Also, if you do not know the animal and its vaccine status, immediately see a doctor, as some diseases are transmissable to people.
