How to quickly remove teeth marks from bite wounds

Bites are very common in life, mainly divided into bites by humans, such as between lovers, or bites by one's own children. This situation is not very serious. However, if you are bitten by an animal, you may face the risk of contracting rabies. In addition to responding to potential dangers in a timely manner, there are some methods that can effectively remove tooth marks. So, how can you quickly remove teeth marks from bite wounds? Let’s take a look below.

If the wound is very large or you cannot stop the bleeding, keep applying pressure to the bleeding area and see a doctor immediately. If the wound is so large that the edges cannot be pulled together, stitches may be necessary. Although it helps reduce scarring, it increases the chance of infection in animal bites, so doctors prescribe antibiotics as a preventive measure.

Rabies is a viral disease spread by infected animals that can cause high fever, difficulty swallowing, convulsions and ultimately death. Fortunately, rabies is very rare today. The risk depends largely on the animal and the environment surrounding the bite wound. The risk of disease is much greater from bites from wild animals (such as bats, skunks, raccoons, and foxes) than from domestic animals (such as cats and dogs) that have been vaccinated against rabies. The health of the animal is also very important; if possible, the animal should be caught and examined by a veterinarian without harming the animal, but if it has been killed, the brain tissue should be tested for rabies.

Like many other wounds, bite wounds can become infected. See your doctor right away if you notice any of the following signs of infection:

Pus or other drainage from a wound;

Swelling or tenderness near the bite site (normally it will be red for 2-3 days, so there is no need to worry);

Red threads spreading outward from the bite site;

Swollen lymph nodes above the bite site.

Doctors may recommend antibiotics if your child:

Moderate to severe bite wounds;

Penetrating injuries, especially to bones, tendons, and joints;

bites to the face;

Bites on hands and feet;

bites to the genital area;

Children with immune deficiencies or those who have had their spleen removed by bites.
