Tetanus injection is same for everyone
But if the child was vaccinated fully, at 1.5 yrs, then there was no need for the tetanus shot.
Now that u have given it, so cold fermentation with ice pack on the site.
If swelling increases, then consult with Pediatrician
Next Steps
Consult in person for better discussion sos

Nothing to worry about if swelling is not progressing and if there are no other signs of inflammation.
