TT Injection
My son of 4 yrs got wound while climbing staircase. He got scratch on chin. I visited the clinic and doctor after thorough observation gave him hydroheal ointment and cefakind syrup.
There was iron railing to hold on staircase . I m n't sure he got wound due to it or wall? So should he take a tetanus shot?
P.S. He has taken the all necessary vaccinations as suggested by paediatric so far including DPaT.
