Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

Dog bite on the face for which you have given adequate and proper treatment to your daughter. For the bite on the face which was infected for which your treating doctor has given a course of antibiotics.

The wound on the face after healing as left some scar on the biting site. The face has a very rich blood supply which will fasten the process of healing and the bump will shrink in a due course of time.

For the swelling, I would suggest you to apply MOMENTASONE cream over the bumps for 7-10 days it will regress the wound.
Thank you.
