Treatment after being bitten by a dog;
1. Check the size of the wound: check the size of the wound comprehensively, mainly observing the area, depth and injured part of the wound to see if it hurts the great vessels and nerves. If the bleeding is serious, use a tourniquet or rope to stop the bleeding in time.
2. Wash: Both mad dogs and normal dogs may carry rabies virus. If the conditions are limited, you can choose to wash the wound with flowing water. If conditions permit, you can choose soapy water and alcohol to clean the wound to deal with bacteria and viruses to the maximum extent.
3. Squeezing: Because wounds caused by animals such as cats and dogs are often small outside and deep inside. If the toxin cannot be completely washed away by water alone, squeezing the soft tissue around the wound is beneficial to the discharge of saliva and dirty blood from the dog in the wound.
4. Disinfection: commonly used disinfectants, such as iodophor and alcohol.
