Firstly if it has been greater than 24 hours than you MAY need human tetanus immunoglobulin injection plus or minus TT routine paired dose or booster depending whether you received  2 TT DOSES IN last 5 years or a booster in last 5 years or not you should elaborate your situation as per these points to a doctor.
