[|Human|] I was bitten by my dog on Friday in the back.  2 punctures and some scratches.  I cleaned the wound out well with lots of soap and water for 5 minutes and bandaged it.  Did not get it treated-our local ER is questionable at best.  Anyway, today the skin surrounding the punctures is red in about a 4 mm radius from the wound and there is some pus.  It is still painful but I cant tell if its pain from the bruising (which is extensive) or the actual infection.  It only really hurts if I lean against it.  I cleaned it out again today and it is just sore, ibuprofen easily handles the discomfort.  At any rate I have today gotten a prescription for Augmentin 500 mgs TID.  Do you think that this will be sufficient to take care of this?  ETA: I am 30 F, healthy BMI and no chronic health problems
[|AI|]  HI, I have read your query & understand your question.  * Actually dog bite wound is likely to be infected fast considering dogs habitat/ habit of eating anything & every thing that is available & also lick all the objects on ground. So inspire of the good health, * Management of dog bite demands - immediate cleaning of wound with antiseptic liquid, spirit, cotton soaked (and squeezed)with warm water/ application of antibiotic ointment/ changing Chat Doctor.  - Injection of Tetanus toxic is given within 24 hours of dog bite - Treatment/ prevention of infection by antibiotics (you are already taking Augmenting) addition of Anti-inflammatory
