Question
Doctor, hello! Nine days ago, the inner side of my left thigh root was bitten by a horse. But there was no skin breakage through the clothes. Two days after the bite, severe bruising began to appear, with a large area and various colors, but no swelling.
Answer
Dear friend, it’s a pleasure to assist you. Based on your description, the current symptoms are likely due to regional soft tissue bruising and redness following the bite. It is recommended to pay close attention to the situation and it’s best to seek treatment at your local regular hospital’s infectious disease department. Avoid spicy and stimulating foods in your diet and drink plenty of water. You can also use anti-inflammatory and blood circulation herbs under the guidance of your attending physician.
