Bite Wound?!


Question: Today while I was babysitting the little girl bit me really hard on my hand, and she has an very painful bite for such a little girl! While, right after she bit me it immediately turned blue and it swelled a little. Even now, hours later, it is still just as painful. The skin did not break. Is this a normal reaction? Should I just put ice on it and leave it alone?

I guess since the skin didnt break your ok- because if anyone ever bites you and the skin breaks you need to give serioud care because humans are not immune to human bites- So if your absolutely sure that the skin didnt break, then just treat it as a normal bruise- ice it. Bruising is a normal reaction, dont worry. But in the meantime you need to tell that little girl's mother what happened so she cant start trying to prevent that

Your biggest concern is if the skin was broken. Bites by humans are potentially dangerous if the skin is broken. If you are sure the skin is not broken, then treat it as a bruise.

Not to worry, if the skin is not broken. It will be painful a few days, Ice will help, but no longer than 10 minutes on your finger, at a time, else you risk frostbite.

I hope you told her mother!
