question: I was bitten by a my dog a week ago. I went to the local ER the same night where they cleaned my punctures and wrote me a script for Augmentin 875, twice a day (totally 1750mg per day) for 7 days. I was bitten on my left cheek and jawline. As of right now, everything appears to be healing pretty well (I've been cleaning it twice a day with saline, antiseptics, and triple antibiotic ointment) and I've pretty much left it open to air out and heal. Right now between two punctures on my jawline I have a tough knot-like area that is tender and doesn't respond to any kind of treatment for swelling; I also have some yellow-ish material inside the larger of the two punctures. I talked to my mom (she's an RN and has been for about 20yrs now) and she believes it could just be serous drainage. Note: She has not actually seen the wound in person. I have scheduled a Doctor's appointment for tomorrow with my family Doctor to get his opinion, but I just can't help digging through the Internet. Thanks for your time!
