[|AI|]  Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, The dog bite should be treated properly and adequately as it is 100 fatal, but it is 100% preventable. As you were bitten by a dog your lower lip near the part where the lower lip meets the top lip which is nothing but an angle of mouth which will be in action during the act of speaking and eating. As this area has rich bloody supply it will heal early. As it is frequently irritated during the above act it will take more time for healing. In addition to the treatment given I would suggest you to follow1. Active immunization with antirabies vaccine on days 0,3,7,14 and 28.2. Passive immunization with Rigs around the wound.3. Oral antibiotic like Tab Augmenting, twice daily4. Topical Tract ointment. Thank you.
