What Should Be Done For A Dog Bite In An Infant?
My 20 month old was nipped by a 12-year old miniature pinscher dog. the skin is punctured with a small tear. It doesn t look bad, but i want to know if it s safe to use neosporin? If it looks infected tomorrow, I will take her in to her pediatrician but their is currently no swelling, just a little redness, and she is in fine spirits. advice? greatly appreciated, thank you!

Hi,
There is no problem applying Neosporin cream on the part.
Clean the area with warm water and then apply Neosporin cream.
Consult pediatrician and discuss about ARV.
Ok and take care.
