Cover the wound with a clean, dry dressing & apply betadine ointment on the bite before covering. Watch for these signs of infection like Redness, Swelling, Heat or Oozing pus. Please consult your family doctor for the need of stitches & anti-rabies inj.
Have a tetanus shot if your last vaccine was more than 5 years ago.
