Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Wounds on the face generally heal quickly because of rich blood supply.
Usually it heals within 7 days.
Nothing to be concerned about it.
If she has not already taken DPT booster dose better give it now.
Antibiotic may not be necessary unless it is secondarily infected.
Only keep the wound clean.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
