Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
dau before yesterday my son 16 years old had a dog bite (one teeth mark) in his leg after came home we took him to a doctor and doctor gave 2 injections with tetanus and asked us to give 4 times in every 5 days. what he can eat and is there any infection he may have, please suggest.
He can eat just anything. The feared infections with dog bites are rabies, tetanus and a bacterial infection because of the open wound. However, with vaccination and wound care, this would be very very minimal. Also, I will like to know if he received and antibiotic(amoxicillin+clavulanic acid) to cover for germs present in the dogs' mouth.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Thank you so much for using our services, we very much appreciate this.
