Dog bite- infection
I have bitten by a stray dog today morning...now there is swelling, redness and pain but not scratch or bleeding...I have shown it to general clinic but they are saying no need for rabies or tetanus vaccination. so I was thinking to get second opinion as it is still not 24 hours after bite
