What To Do For Swelling, Numbness In Chin/jaw After Dog Bite?
A friend of mine was bitten by a dog on the lip yesterday. It doesn't look infected or anything, but her chin and jaw feel numb. It is a little bit swollen but has very little pain. Is the numbness something she should worry about or just keep an eye on it?
