[|Human|] I received an iv of penicillin and augmentin for 10 days after a dog bite wound to my hand and forearm. However 2 weeks later I still do not have full strength in that arm/fingers along with a bulge on my forearm about 2 inches from my elbow on the inside accompanied by pain. Should I be worried? Or is this still healing?
[|AI|]  Hi, I understand your concern.  You seem to have deep bite by a dog. Seems to be a pet, inoculated dog. That's why your doctor did not advise anti rabies vaccine to you. If not, please observe the dog for it sun instigated several bites to others(in case of a stray dog).  You have received sufficient antibiotics, but you still have swelling, I would advise you to consult a surgeon/ infectious disease doctor . To exclude deep trauma-causing abscess./ hematoma/ bone involvement.  This will be followed by specific treatment according to cause.  Thanks.  Local examination, along with needle aspiration/ X-ray would help in diagnosis.
