Wound after cat scratch

2018-11-11 17:25:43
Before 2 hours a cat scratched me with his nails on my right hand. After that blood came from the wound. I washed with soap and also with dettol after 5 mins of the incident. 1) Do I need to go to Hospital?? 2) Is there any test to find the antibody level of TETanus (TT)? 3) what are the steps do I need to take now?? Pls advise
