Dear ,
It's usually not recommended in infants ,especially avoid betadine solution for cleaning the wound
You could have the dressing wet with sterile water and pulled it ,so that it wouldn't be painful ,I recommend you to do daily dressing with softamycin or mupirocin and give an antibiotic course for 3 days

Patient's detailed medical history is required. It is recommended to consult a doctor professional through the Practo app or visit a local medical facility for a thorough evaluation.
Please keep in mind that detailed medical history is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment.
