--- Dear Patient,  Thank you for sharing the details about your mother’s injury. Since she received a tetanus shot just 9 months ago during her surgery, she is likely still protected against tetanus, and another booster is not necessary at this time. The current guidelines recommend a tetanus booster every 10 years for most adults, or within 5 years for a high-risk wound—which this does not appear to be, given the small size of the cut and the prompt cleaning.  You’ve taken the right steps by thoroughly cleaning the wound with Dettol and applying Neosporin ointment. Continue to monitor the area for signs of infection, such as increasing redness, swelling, pain, or pus. If any of these symptoms develop, or if you have further concerns, please don’t hesitate to seek medical advice.  For personalized guidance or if you’d like to discuss this further, you can reach me on WhatsApp at eight zero zero nine eight two one three three two.  Wishing your mother a speedy recovery.
