Minor Accident
Hello
am from Chennai,India
I got a minor accident on 2 wheeler (25.03.2017)
i just had my tetanus injection in hospital on the same day, 5 days past and now am applying ointment and taking tablets,
and my doubt is about that whether i need to wash my wounds with water in between(morning and evening) applying my ointment or i can directly apply my ointment without washing my wounds with water?
Thank you
