Dr. Mohamad Siblini Surgery
You did a good job. But you have to watch for these symptoms :
-local symptoms (on the bite side):
Redness
Swelling
Heat
Weeping pus
- generalized symptoms (in your body):
Fever
Headache
Vomiting
Pain in the back and joints.
These symptoms may appear within 7-10 days post bite. If any of these symptoms appear you have to go and see a doctor and start antibiotics. Meanwhile u can put local antibiotic ointment on the site of bite to prevent local infection.
