Severe dig bite

2017-04-09 11:47:06
Hello sir/ma'am Our pet dog (fully vaccinated) bit my mother (age - 49, weight- 60kg) on her hand. It is a deep wound. She is not able to move her hand at all. It has been 4 days already and her hand is a little better but not fully movable. she refuses to visit to a doctor. She has been bitten severely before too and it got cured eventually. The problem is that her hand has swollen up now. What does the swelling up of the infected area mean and what should we do? I am concerned about her. Please help
