Cat scratched my wrist, and I'm wondering if I just need to clean it or if there's a chance I need a vaccination. Should I be worried about tetanus or anything else? What should I do next?
It is important to clean the wound thoroughly with soap and water. Additionally, it is recommended to apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment to prevent infection. In this case, it would be advisable to get a tetanus vaccination if you have not had one in the last 5-10 years. You may also consider consulting with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and advice.
