A three-year-old child was bitten by a classmate and bled, does he need a shot?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, in this case, it is recommended to treat the wound promptly, apply anti-inflammatory measures, and avoid infection. Generally, there should not be any major issues. If the wound does not become inflamed, there is no need to take antibiotics. If it does become inflamed, taking a course of cephalexin should be sufficient.
