What are the symptoms of swelling after applying the horse bite ointment to the inner thigh?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor! Nine days ago, I was bitten by a horse on the inner side of my left thigh, but it didn't break the skin because of the clothing. Two days after the bite, the bruising became very severe, covering a large area and appearing in various colors, but there was no swelling.

Doctor's answer:

Dear friend, hello, it is a great pleasure to answer for you. According to the situation you described, the current symptoms are considered to be caused by local soft tissue edema and swelling after a bite. It is recommended to pay close attention to the current situation and, if possible, go to the local hospital's infectious disease department for treatment. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and drink plenty of water. You can also use anti-inflammatory, blood-activating, and blood-stasis-removing drugs under the guidance of your attending physician.
