A member asked:
My daughter has a busted lip from playing with the dogs and it seems to be infected. what can we do at home or is a doctors visit necessary?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doctor visit: Best would be through her pediatrician as she will likely need antibiotics, an exam will be needed. Call first office as some may have telemedicine capabilities and you may not need to take her to the office. If indeed infected, the wound may need local care as well, the sooner you call, the better.
