Bitten by a dog, there was no bleeding, just broken skin, but a little swollen

If I am scratched by a dog, do I have to get the rabies vaccine? TCM reminds that it is important to treat wounds correctly!!

If the local swelling and pain after being bitten by a dog, there is no broken skin and no bleeding, this is a second-level exposure wound, and it is necessary to go to the hospital for rabies vaccination, and the wound should be rinsed with soapy water and running water for at least 15 minutes, and then iodophor disinfection can be done.

Solutions for dog bites:

1. After being bitten by a dog, you should find a water source immediately and rinse the wound with clean cold water, preferably with long running water. If there is soap around, you can wash it with soapy water, and thoroughly wash the germs on the wound for at least about 20 minutes.

2. In the process of rinsing the wound, you should squeeze the wound around with both hands, and the infected blood must be completely squeezed out.

3. After the wound bitten by the dog is rinsed with water, the wound should be disinfected and wiped with medical disinfectants, such as alcohol, iodine wine, etc.

4. If the dog bite is very serious and the bleeding does not stop in the process of cleaning and disinfection, you must use clothes, towels and the like to tightly strangle the wound to stop the bleeding after cleaning and disinfecting the wound.

I was bitten by a dog the morning before yesterday, I have tooth marks and no bleeding, do I need an injection, please.

It is recommended to go to the hospital immediately for examination** and rabies vaccination.

Hurry up to the hospital for injections, be sure to get injections, otherwise it may be dangerous. The day before yesterday, it was reported that a college student died because he was reluctant to take an injection. He also didn't bleed and thought it was fine.

What should I do if I get inflamed for half a month?

If it's just swollen, it may be a soft tissue contusion.

A few days will be fine.

If you are not worried, wash the bite area with soap.

Injections are required. Normal dogs and cats (according to the literature, a considerable number of normal dogs and cats have rabies virus in their saliva) should not rush to the hospital to find a doctor for treatment, but should immediately, on the spot, and thoroughly rinse the wound. In case you can't find a water source, you can even rinse it with human urine instead of clean water, and then try to find a water source.

Flush the wound one is to be fast. Every second counts to flush out the rabies virus from the wound as quickly as possible. Because after a long time, the virus enters the human tissues, invades the central nervous system along the nerves, and kills people.

The second is to be thorough. Because the wounds of dog and cat bites are often small on the outside and deep on the inside, this requires that when rinsing, try to expand the wound as much as possible, let it be fully exposed, and squeeze the soft tissues around the wound, and the amount of water to be flushed should be large, and the water flow should be rapid, and it is best to rinse it with water from the tap urgently. Third, the wound should not be bandaged.

Except for individual wounds that are large and hurt blood vessels and need to stop bleeding, generally do not use any drugs and do not bandage, because the rabies virus is anaerobic, and in the absence of oxygen, the rabies virus will grow in large numbers.

After repeated irrigation of the wound, it should be sent to the hospital for further wound irrigation (remember to wash the wound carefully in the hospital), and then the rabies vaccine should be given. In particular, it should be pointed out here that after being bitten by dogs and cats, the wound should not be treated in any way, and the mistake is that not only the wound is not washed, but the red potion wrapped in gauze is more harmful, and it is important not to travel long distances to rush to a big hospital for treatment, but should immediately, on the spot, thoroughly rinse the wound, and inject rabies vaccine within 24 hours.

I've had that experience.

I was scratched by a dog because I went to grab something from its mouth.

There was no bleeding, only a little bit of skin.

Then my mom took me to the doctor, and when the doctor saw it, he said that there was no need for vaccinations if there was no bleeding.

If you feel particularly uneasy, it doesn't hurt to get vaccinated, and you don't have to be careful.

Yes, because the bacteria may have already entered, and it is better not to get in, and if they do, it will be troublesome.

Yes, you have to inject into the bloodstream, be careful to make the ship of ten thousand years.

See if the dog has been vaccinated against rabies, wash it with soapy water, and use running water

Go to the hospital first to clean the broken skin, and the doctor will tell you.
