A. I'm not a medical professional, but I can offer some general advice. If a baby has been scratched by a dog, it's important to assess the severity of the scratch. If it's a minor scratch, you can clean it gently with mild soap and water and apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment. However, if it's a deeper or more serious scratch, you should seek immediate medical attention. It's also essential to monitor for signs of infection or unusual behavior in the baby and consult a healthcare professional if you have any concerns. Additionally, ensure the dog's behavior is evaluated and controlled to prevent future incidents.
