No - I think that you might make it worse...

If it has an infection that causes a high feaver lowering the temperature could make the animal feel a little better. If the infection is caused by a bacteria it could need RX meds to cure it, if it is a viral infection antibiotics can help stop secondary infections, but the virus will just have to run its course.

That isn't done for the sake of helping people already sick. It's done to slow the growth of germs in the environment and make new infections less likely. So no, it wouldn't help directly. But it might help prevent the animal from getting a second infection at the same time.

No, I don't think it would help - unless of course the enviroment is so hot and moist that it is just inviting for things to grow?
Otherwise keeping the wound clean and dry is your best bet. If it starts getting infected or if it's something more severe - I would go to the vets and get some antibiotics.

No. He needs to get meds from a vet.
