Doctor, my baby is 40 days old. Yesterday, I accidentally injured my baby’s palm with my fingernail. The skin was scraped off and there was some bleeding. Does my baby need a tetanus vaccine or any other preventive treatment? Are there any special precautions I should take to prevent infection? Could you please examine the wound and advise me?
