Pediatrician, Neonatology 's  Response
The dog is most likely infested with mites called ear mites which appear as whitish mites around a brown area.even brief contact with the mite can be transmitted to children or adults.
Suggest to take your dog straightaway to a veterinarian for full treatment and
your child must be seen by pediatrician and local treatment with application of appropriate medicine or cream started .Separate the dog in his kennel for about 2 weeks .
