Hi I just found a very friendly and playful stray dog. We were playing in the back yard she was trying to jump up and lick my face. I put my hand out to stop her and my thump went into her mouth striking a tooth just broke the skin, very little blood. Should I be worried. I squeezed it to try to get to bleed and then soaked it in proxide.
Hello, thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. If I am your doctor I suggesting you can wait for a period of 10 days to check, if dog disappears than you have to undergo vaccination. Alternatively you can directly opt for vaccination and all the primary care. In my advice you should go for vaccination for rabies as well as tetanus and antibiotics to prevent wound infection. If you have to ask me anything you can contact me. Chat Doctor. Infectious disease specialist. Thank you.
