I was bitten by a dog, what should I do? I'm wondering if I should go to the emergency room or if I should get some medication.

Hello, thank you for your question!

I'm sorry to read about your troubles, but a dog bite requires prompt medical attention. I strongly advise you to go to a walk-in clinic, or to the emergency room.

Sincerely

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
