<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I was bitten by my dog on Friday in the back. 2 punctures and some scratches. I cleaned the wound out well with lots of soap and water for 5 minutes and bandaged it. Did not get it treated-our local ER is questionable at best. Anyway, today the skin surrounding the punctures is red in about a 4 mm radius from the wound and there is some pus. It is still painful but I cant tell if its pain from the bruising which is extensive or the actual infection. It only really hurts if I lean against it. I cleaned it out again today and it is just sore, ibuprofen easily handles the discomfort. At any rate I have today gotten a prescription for Augmentin 500 mgs TID.
