Should the daughter get a shot if she is bitten by a child?

Patient's question:

Does the daughter need a shot because she was bitten by a child? Does she need to be treated at the hospital? How long will it take to recover? Please help me!

Doctor's answer:

There are many bacteria in human teeth, but it's just the bite mark, so there's no need to be too nervous. You can use povidone-iodine to disinfect it without needing a shot. It's important to let the child interact well with other children at kindergarten and try to avoid fighting. If there's a problem, they should report to the teacher. If someone is bitten, it's not a big deal and won't cause rabies infection. If the wound isn't broken, there's no need for anti-inflammatory treatment. You can apply a cold towel externally.
