[|Human|] We have a staffy dog and yesterday it scratched my 11 yr old son on the back breaking skin (bled). Today he is saying his back is really sore. It is very tender to touch. Would this just be bruising or should I be concerned about an underlying infection?
[|AI|]  Hello and Welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank You for your query. I can completely understand your concern. Since, your child was scratched by your Dog, I would recommend you to get him a Tetanus toxic injection, immediately. I need you to do take care of the wound by firstly washing the wound thoroughly with soap water, and salon, and thereby applying Betadine ointment or any other antiseptic cream, twice daily, and keep a close check over the wound, for any pus etc. Since he's your pet dog, we expect him to be vaccinated to date, so there's no point of worrying on this concern. The wound would get healed eventually. Thank You. Please Hit a THANKS, if this helped you with your query. Do write back for followup queries, or other doubts. Good Luck. Stay Healthy.
