Asking for Other, Male, 5 years old, Lahore

A stray cat which comes to our house every other day has scratched my son's foot this morning. The scratch isn't bleeding but it's red n a little deep. What should I do? Apprantly the cat isn't sick or I'll. I have disinfected with Dettol sanitizer. What else should I do? Is it dangerous?
