What's the best treatment to get rid of non venomous snake bite?
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Simple: If the bite is from a non venomous snake, it should be treated like any other bite. Irrigation, ice, elevation, compression if needed. Antiinflammatory medications for pain. If it is infected, it may need to be drained or treated with antibiotics. Also, make sure you are current on your tetanus shot, as it may very well be contaminated with soil.

Treat for infection: A nonvenomous bite should still be treated for infection and tetanus prophylaxis. Contact your doctor to be evaluated and treated appropriately.
