A little Polysporin on it once or twice a day would be nice

You can also spray it with a little Chlorhexidine or a little soapy water to clean it up and help wash away the previous Polysporin before applying the new.

I take it the mice bite is minor and doesn't need vet care. Like said above, any kind of first aid antibiotic ointment will do the job of healing it up just fine.

Povidone-iodine will work. Very good stuff there. I'd clean the bite with iodine every day for about 5 days. When you see if start to fade away, it's healing and you can just keep an eye on it till it's gone.
