See your doctor : You may need a Rabies Vaccine if the health status of the dog is unknown and may also need a tetanus shot. Your dr. May have prescribed antibiotics for 7-14 days. You can keep the wound clean and apply antibiotic ointment on it. Also, you can apply an ice pack on your face for 10- 15 min at a time to make the swelling go down. Follow up with your physician.
