Due to horse bite I have swelling in my middle finger I have taken rabies injection and all anti biotic course with pain killers but the swelling is not going. Does the swelling lead to pus formation? I am worried please suggest some treatment.

If there is pus you have to go for drainage and then take antibiotics course.

I would like to see a picture of the site of the bite and how long is the problem. It is the body's self response called inflammation which causes swelling at the site of injury. Also in long term cases there could be a growth of bacteria and infection causing swelling. There are medications which could help you reduce swelling. Consult me so that I could prescribe you.
