Dear Patient,

You can get a tetanus booster if the bucket was rusty etc(it's safer too) even though tetanus at a birth cover child for 10years. Just apply pink polyfax to that area after cleaning daily with an alcohol swab. Keep wound clean and dry. I would recommend resending query with a photo of the region if not healing.

For further consultation, you can choose from our list of best Pediatricians in Lahore and seek in-person advice.
