Is Treatment Required After Stray Dog Licking A 3 Year Old?

I am from India, today a stray dog came near to my 3 yr old daughter who was throwing a biscuit and I doubt if it licked her hand. I immediately washed her hand with water and later with soap. There were no cuts in her hand or any broken skin. Should I give her any treatment. Please help.
