Dog bites can be scary and also terrifying enough to make someone consider or think that he or she might soon die due to the bite but this is not usually the case, if you follow medical procedures keenly, it will save you from some issues or problems caused by a dog bite.

In this article on EKO HOT BLOG, we would be looking at steps to take, after a dog bite to prevent infections.

  1. Wash the wound immediately with warm, clean water. This would prevent harmful microorganisms from getting into your body.
  2. Secondly, you clean the wound with a clean cloth to stop the bleeding from continuing. This is also important, to avoid surface infection of the wounded area.
  3. You can apply over-the-counter antibiotic cream if you have one in your house on the wound. To ease the pain of the dog bite, and also provide some level of protection, anti-biotics are advised.
  4. Wrap the wound in a sterile bandage if you have one at home or you can go to a pharmacy to get this done. It’s dangerous for an open wound from a dog bite to get in contact with random objects, it could even lead to worst infection, that is why wrapping it up is very important. You should do this before you see a doctor.
  5. Change the bandage around the wrapped the wound several times a day after a doctor has examined the wound. This way you will keep it clean and fresh and also prevent certain infections from coming your way.

If the dog has rabies, the doctor will now suggest the best treatment options for you.
