Hello. Very Good morning. First you should go for a antiseptic Dressing and have a T.T Shot within the 24 hours of injury. You also require a course of antibiotics initially for atleast 3 days which can be extended. Kindly come to practo chat for your evaluation, counseling and treatment part. Regards
