Suggest Medications For Bumpy Bruise Caused By Dog S Bite

Two months ago I got bitten by a dog, on the muscle of my calf, did not tear my pants nor broke my skin but bruised it. I still have a bump and a slight bruise and ever since than I have had pain on that leg especially my ankle and foot. Did that bite do something bad that I should go to the Dr?

I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I would like to say that according to you this is almost two month gone since the dog bite happened if the would is still there then this need to be investigated for underlying cause, and better to go for clinical examination, to rule out the infection, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
