Bruise after dog bite





A dog bit me in February 2010 (5 months ago)and the skin was broken but there was no need for stitches. I went to the doctor for a tetanus injection but he did'nt give me any antibiotics. After 4 months the bruising did'nt clear up and was still hurting so I went back to the doctor and he gave me a double dose penicillin which helped for a while but it is starts hurting again thought it is not as red as it was before. Is this normal or do I have to take more antibiotics to clear it up and will the bruise ever go away? The dog does not have rabies but I don't know about his other medical history.
