A small nail pricked into her sole

2020-08-06 19:21:35
She was jumping and a small nail pricked her left feet. A pin prick wound and not even 1/4th drop of blood came out of the pricked area. I cleaned the area and applied antiseptic cream.its been 6hours now.attaching the wound picture. She was given DTP when she was 18months old. Now she's 3yrs.3months. Should I get her a tetanus shot? Or the shot given at 18months of age would take care of the wound. Due to this corona virus pandemic taking her to a doctor for a shot is very risky.please advice what I should be doing.

Good evening You are correct. DPT contains tetanus toxoid also, so if the baby has received all DPT doses on schedule, then Looking at the wound no further shots are necessary. Just take good care of local wound, give PCM sos for pain, continue applying antiseptic lotion. Thanks
