It is a Dog bite... and a open wound. Just do wash it thoroughly with soap water and let it be open. No suturing, no dressing. Apply betadine ointment, take anti inflammatory medicines like T.Combiflam thrice daily. You might require Rabies immunoglobulin. Please do visit a nearby Govt. Medical College Hospital for the same.
If swelling increases you will have to take antibiotics. After examining the wound it can be given as either tablets or by intravenous injection.
Next Steps
do visit a tertiary care health centre
