Needs treatment now. As bone and tissue are soft . Moulding with plaster application and correction is possible .
Later stage it will strat getting stiff and then might require surgical correction .
So with proper preacution mask and gloves + proper distance maintain ,so treatment can be taken and Its opd base procedures so safe.
