Tetanus inquiry

2024-05-14 16:03:29
I am 28 years old male. Approx 10 days back, i had my finger cuticle pricked, which caused minor swelling and developed very minor pus. I had taken antibiotics for 1.5 days, and it was cured. Now I am having doubt that if tetanus could cause that or not? However, my infection point was not open wound, and i was not in contact with any soil, animal feces, etc. However,I played on the circket and basketball court, but it was clean, and there was no such dust. I also had taken one TT injection 0.5 ml on Feb 8th, 2024. So, how many chances are there for tetanus, and shall I take it again?

If you have taken 3 or more doses in the past (3rd one recently) no need for another dose now
