Hello there, initially for a cut , you need to wash properly the abraded minor cut area.
If your child is vaccinated as per national schedule, you need not repeat tetanus vaccination now. But make sure you vaccinate your child properly as per vaccination schedule.
Do Consult online and get prescribed, your child will be fine soon. Don't worry.
