How To Treat An Animal Bite

Being bitten by an animal can be a scary experience, especially if the victim is young. If an animal bite is severe, it's essential to seek emergency medical attention. Minor animal bites can typically be treated through washing and the application of antibiotic cream. Make sure any bandages you use are clean, and the wound is disinfected before being bandaged. If there's any question about the animal being rabid or having other diseases, you should go to the emergency room, as you may need to get rabies shots for your protection.
