If your dog is fully vaccinated for rabies AND the bite is minor and NOT in the face or neck or hand near thumb,then only local cleaning with savlon and application of some antibiotic cream is sufficient.
If above is not true ,URGENTLY get him vaccinated against rabies on day 0,3,7,14 and 30.
Your paediatrician will tell you details.
