Its been almost a say since your kid has had the injury
Hope he is better now
Many people have already advised ibupara syp and a local examination by someone nearby
If you havent taken a consult yet
Remember to add cold fomentation with icepacks if swelling has not reduced till now

If injury is small, clean apply Zytee L gel 2 time a day for 4 days
If injury is bad, with dust, clean with water, betadine, and you can apply Mupirocin ointment.
Next Steps
you need to have TT injection, if not vaccinated at 18 months, if it is bad wound.

As the child has suffered injury with swelling , u should give analgesics( syp ibugesic) along with antibiotics( like Amoxicillin) and zytee gel. A consultation will be better to see the extent of injury , whether internal or external and other associated injuries .
Next Steps
u should consult a pediatrician for proper examination
