My Daughter (12) Was Bit By Our Dog Last Friday.

My daughter (12) was bit by our dog last Friday. We made an ER visit. She's been on augmenten since. We followed up with her primary on Monday. He wasn't concerned about her leg, saying we would recheck in Friday (she gets stitches out of her hand). She has 2 puncture wounds on her leg. One looks good, healing well. The other is not closed as much & still draining. What concerns me the most, is the hardness & swelling at the site of the wound. I have her washing it a couple times of day, icing & elevating it, also applying neosporin. I'm just worried about it becoming infected.
