Hello,,,
1. Dog bites requires medical attention.
2. Clean the site of the bite (wrist). Wash it carefully with soap and water, then hold it under
running water for a few minutes to rinse away bacteria.
3. your child’s up-to-date on her tetanus shots
4. You should also call the doctor if, over the next few days, you notice any signs of infection,
such as redness, swelling, warmth, or pus. Your child may be prescribed a course of antibiotics.
5. On safe side he have to give rabipur vaccine 3 shots on 0,3 ,7 days
Thanks
