DOG BITEN WHEN I WAS 15 YEARS OLD

General Physician
Answered on 16th Feb '25
It's understandable to have concerns about past incidents involving animal encounters. If you experienced a bite, be aware of potential symptoms such as swelling, redness, or pain in the affected area. Infections could occur, so monitoring for signs like increased warmth or pus is advisable. Causes may include unexpected fright or the dog feeling threatened. It's essential to keep the wound clean and to consider a physician for an assessment and possible preventive measures like vaccinations.

Recently one week back i got tetanus shot due to small cut on my leg..the leg is fine now but i think the tetanus injection didn't get through well,i got bump on my back and its still not healing .There are no signs of any pain but is this a matter to bother is my concern.
Male | 20
I understand you’re worried about the bump at the site of your tetanus shot. It’s normal to have a bump there, and it might take some time to heal. Your immune system is reacting to the vaccine as if it were a foreign substance. If there’s no pain or redness, it’s usually not a cause for concern. Just be patient, and the bump should go away on its own. However, if you notice any unusual symptoms, it's best to seek medical advice.

Symptoms of ovarian failure after hysterectomy?
Female | 36
The symptoms of ovarian failure following a hysterectomy may include hot flashes, night sweats and vaginal dryness. Menstrual patterns may change, and if ovaries were taken out, they will stop menstruating. Mood changes may include mood swings and irritability. Besides, low levels of estrogen may cause changes in libido. Ovarian failure can also impair bone health, which may influence bone density. If these manifestations occur, it is critical to seek the advice of your health care provider for proper assessment and intervention.

I feel numbness near the treated area; is this temporary or should I be concerned?
Female | 65
Numbness in the treated area is normal after surgery. This may be because the medicine used in the process has some temporary effect on the nerves. Apart from this, you may have a tingling or pins and needles sensation. Usually, this numbness heals by itself as your body recovers. If the numbness symptom lasts for a long time or increases, you should notify your doctor.

Finding a new lump in your abdomen could be a fright but it is also logical. It may not necessarily be a lump in here but mostly the following: a pulled muscle, a lipoma (a fatty lump), or the very worst case a hernia. Most of these lumps are not dangerous but it is concerned if there are changes or other symptoms along with it, such as pain or swelling. It is always better to talk to your health provider so that you are not misdiagnosed, and the problem does not get any knockout worse. Feel free to get in touch with a doctor as they are the ones who can really help you by giving your specific advice and reassuring you about your health.

Female | 26
If you are under 30 years old and your vaccines are up-to-date, you are at a lower risk for tetanus. Tetanus is caused by bacteria found in soil, dirt, or manure. People sometimes experience muscle stiffness, which can make swallowing difficult. Remember to check your immunization records.

If you don’t want pregnancy, then you will first have to get your sonography done, to see for how many weeks you have been pregnant. Second, how to approach this issue also depends on the number of months for which you have been pregnant, and if it's in the range of medical termination then you will be prescribed pills for same. You can approach gynecologists - Gynecologists in Bangalore, let the clinicspots team know if your city is different, and I can be consulted as well. Take care.

When you have a dog bite, the area may hurt, swell, and turn red which could also bleed occasionally. Clean the wound softly with clean water and mild soap because it’s important after which you apply some antibiotic ointment or cream then cover with a dry sterile cloth or adhesive bandages. Make sure you visit a doctor for some checkups to ensure everything is okay since there might be more treatment needed like a tetanus shot among others.

You may observe red and swollen areas, pain, and bleeding. First off, wash the cut with soap and water in a careful way. Next, press a clean piece of cloth against the cut to stop the bleeding. Ultimately, cover it with a bandage for protection. Watch for signs of infection, which are usually redness, heat, or pus, and report them. However, if it looks infected, get treatment right away.
