Remain calm to effectively handle the dog bite. Assess the wound's severity promptly.
Gently wash the bite with soap and water, reducing infection risk significantly.
Use an antiseptic to disinfect the area, promoting faster and cleaner healing.
Apply pressure with a clean cloth to halt bleeding and protect the wound.
Cover the wound with a sterile bandage to keep it clean and protected.
Watch for redness, swelling, or pus, signalling potential infection after a bite.
Consult a doctor, especially if bitten by an unknown dog or if symptoms worsen.
Inform local authorities for public safety and prevention of future incidents.
