Two days back(13th March), I got injured while playing football. It was very dirty dry soil and I cleaned the wound around 30 minutes after the injury. I got the tetanus toxoid right after 1 hour . Last tetanus toxoid shot was in March 2016. For one day ,I used MUPIROCIN OINTMENT and it started drying off but unfortunately my mother applied FUCIDIC cream yesterday night and today in the morning, I found out that ,the periphery of wound has slightly swollen with little little pus. After that I applied poviodine iodine powder. So now it has has started to dry. What should I do now? Should I take tetanus immunoglobulin also ? Or should I visit the general surgeon.
