[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for posting in hChatDoctor. I have read your description and understand your concern. Based on the color change of red and green with presence of foul smell coming from the wound caused by dog bite is indicative of active anaerobic infection of the affected tissues. You need to go to the hospital or consult Physician at the earliest as it needs to be assessed by physical examination. Following which, the problem can be treated with an appropriate course of oral antibiotics and use of topical wound care. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
