Tetanus inquiry
I am 28 years old male.
Approx 10 days back, i had my finger cuticle
pricked, which caused minor swelling and
developed very minor pus. I had taken
antibiotics for 1.5 days, and it was cured.
Now I am having doubt that if tetanus could
cause that or not? However, my infection point
was not open wound, and i was not in contact
with any soil, animal feces, etc. However,I
played on the circket and basketball court,
but it was clean, and there was no such dust. I
also had taken one TT injection 0.5 ml on Feb
8th, 2024. So, how many chances are there for
tetanus, and shall I take it again?
