My dog bit me yesterday on my thumb. Today the little wound stank and it hurts all the way down my forearm. What should I do?

There is no redness or warmth anywhere else, only around my small wound (on my thumb)

Good evening ma'am,
A doctor should be consulted quickly.
As a matter of fact, bites from small dogs get infected very frequently. Antibiotics are then needed, and quickly, as the hand contains lots of small bones that can complicate the treatment of the infection if it spreads.
