I got a dog bite a two weeks ago, what to do?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Not much to do now: See doctor if concerned about infection. Probably should have tetanus shot if not done recently.

Dr Fowler agreed

Dog bite: Tetanus shot if it has been more than 10 years since your last one. Monitor for wound infections.
