I Was Bit In The Knuckle By A Cockatoo About

I was bit in the knuckle by a cockatoo about 2 weeks ago. I was pretty sure the joint capsule was popped because I felt a pop. The doctor put me on Augmentin, placed a tape suture, and had me where a splint for 3 days. There is now a hard bump below the skin at the site. It seems to be on the bone/or part of the bone. It is painful on flexion and palpation.
