Hi
Clean the wound with water and any antiseptic solution
Apply betadine ointment or neosporin powder
Cover the wound with cotton bandage
Take TT/Td injection
If u have not taken it in last 3 years ( but if u remember taking TT/Td within last 3 year you can skip it)
This should suffice fir now
But in case if you later develop swelling/ pain/ pus you will need antibiotics and proper dressing
