Swelling by dog bite
My fiance had a dog bite from our pet dog. We washed the wounds and got a anti rabies shot in the morning. On 6th July we had the second shot. Now suddenly we see some red swelling and pain in the bite area. The dog is vaccinated every year may so there was a 1 month delay for this year. She completed her dose of antibiotics and tetanus Injection as well. Is there anything to worry here? Is this normal? We are very scared. Please help.
