For this we need to have proper conversation. Along with a proper history . So we can tell you the proper diagnosis. For this kindly connect and consult with me. Yes you need to have tt injection if you didn't had it for the past 5 yrs.

This depends on when you were last vaccinated for tetanus! If you have been vaccinated in the past 5 years it's okay. Otherwise better to get a shot of tetanus toxoid just to be safe, even though chances are very unlikely.
