Hi Clean the wound with water and any antiseptic solution Apply betadine ointment or neosporin powder Cover the wound with cotton bandage Take TT/Td injection If u have not taken it in last 3 years ( but if u remember taking TT/Td within last 3 year you can skip it) This should suffice fir now But in case if you later develop swelling/ pain/ pus you will need antibiotics and proper dressing
