See his doctor stat: And keep the dog under observation , which I trust is vaccinated, if vaccination status of the dog isn't known, anti-rabies treatment should start immediately, and tetanus immunization of your son should be current. Can still be dog bite fever or infected wound, but needs to be seen for assessment, check this link for more info http://www.medicinenet.com/dog_bite_treatment/article.htm
