Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am 20 years old female. I have got cut myself accidentally with broken glass from an old picture frame. I am concerned that I may contract tetanus. The cuts are minor. Currently, I am taking birth control medication and anxiety medication.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You have a cut from a glass of some frame. Hence, you have to clean the wound with an available antiseptic solution like Betadine or Dettol whichever is available. You can consult a general surgeon for the examination of the cut. To be on the safer side, you can get an injection of tetanus toxoid for developing immunity against it. Thank you and take care. Regards.
