Got bitten by a dog as a foreigner. Looking for guidance.

Just got bitten by a dog earlier today but I have a tour with DTT Global (I’m still shaken, so I might have misspelled). After a few minutes of discussing with their tour guides (majority of it was them not being able to understand me), they said I have to go to Thailand Hospital (because they can speak in English) by myself.

The dog was owned by a homeless. I assume because the homeless lady was sitting close to the dogs and helped me get out of the situation by instructing me in English to just keep walking on… The dogs were sleeping and might have been startled by me walking fast passed them… When I walked slowly away, the dogs returned to their sleeping place… This was right beside Siam Paragon.

I don’t sound scared but I super am. I feel like crying, etc. The wounds are two puncture wounds but don’t look deep to be very painful. They’re inflamed and just a bit painful.

My flight back to my home country will be in 2 days… I guess I just want guidance… I’m worried. Maybe I could be guided properly (if possible) on this kind of situation…? TIA.

UPDATE:

I just want to thank all of you, who made an effort to express their concern, offered advices/help, and even to those, who made more serious replies and brought me back to my senses. I really needed that. I am also shocked and very humbled by how almost every single person I came across here in Thailand after the incident has shown me nothing but compassion, patience in understanding what I was saying, and great lengths to assist me to get the proper treatment at the hospital. From the nurses, the doctor, and especially tour guide Nok at Klook/DTT Global, who stayed with me during the entire time, always asking me if I was okay, if I felt any pain, etc. Everything went smoothly at Chulalongkorn hospital. Everyone was so professional, knowledgeable, and time-efficient. Treatment was also surprisingly affordable. It’s a bit sad to admit but I feel like I am treated better here in Thailand than in my own country…
