Does it take tetanus to cut a finger?

For patients who cut their fingers, first consider what object the patient was injured by. If the injury was caused by rusty iron or clean knives, it is recommended that the patient consider injecting tetanus antitoxin within 24 hours after the injury. If the injury was caused by other objects, it is generally considered that only local wound treatment is required. First, wash with soapy water or normal saline under running water, then wipe and wash with hydrogen peroxide, and finally disinfect with iodophor and cover sterile excipients or band-aids. Usually, it is best not to drink alcohol within one month of vaccination. In addition, patients need to pay attention to local wounds within one month. Do not touch water, pay attention to the need to rest more, prevent staying up late, and prevent fatigue. The patient needs to observe the local color change of the wound in time. Attention should be paid to the dressing change treatment of the wound on the second or third day after treatment to disinfect and prevent the possibility of local infection or suppuration.
