Clean the wound: I would recommend seeing a physician who can clean the wound and evaluate further management. The area should be washed with antibacterial soap and a topical antibiotic cream applied until seen. Please take the vaccination records for your child to the visit for review. Any details regarding the dog should be provided at that time.
