I'm a bit worried because I accidentally pricked my index finger with a safety pin that wasnt new and it started bleeding a little. I put some Dettol antiseptic on it, but Im concerned if this could lead to tetanus. Is this something I should be worried about?

I'm really worried because my mom has a 100-degree fever since 4 PM. She took Meftal Forte, but it's been three hours and it hasn't gone down. I'm wondering if she can take Dolo 500 or 650 now. What should I do?
