Hello
Welcome to Healthcare Magic
It is not true that it will also infect other. Wound was covered so you need not to worry about that.
For treatment, do regular dressing.
Do not bandage so hard, will affect blood circulation.
If small, make it open so heal well and early.
For pain advised him to take simple paracetamol or Ibuprofen.
For infection to be resolved, consult for the physician for antibiotic powder and cream and medicines.
Have nice time ahead...
