It broke the skin and is pretty deep. Anything I need to do besides Neosporin?

Sorry! I was just going to suggest calling the nurse line - I know animal bites infect easily and I would imagine toddler mouths are full of bacteria too.

How ironic that happened the day after he accused her. Hopefully urgent care is quick and he heals up fast.

Yesterday was definitely him though.

I was going to suggest urgent care for antibiotics - human and cat bites are probably the 2 nastiest things for infection.

Pedi says it's mostly bleeding under the skin and the actual puncture is superficial. So, she bit really hard and it's going to bruise badly but not a huge infection risk. Nurse is going to come clean it out really well and bandage it for us. No antibiotics.
