Who soon should i get a tetnus shot?
Question:
Answers:
as long as you don't have a deep puncture wound in the bottom of your foot-you should be ok being seen by tomorrow but don't wait any longer than that.
nails can cause nasty infections and you don't want to wait for it to develop so make sure to be seen.
if the wound is deep-you should make a trip to the nearest urgent care or er to have it washed out well and properly dressed if necessary.
if it's not deep-then wash the area well with warm water and soap. apply a small amount of neosporin and cover the puncture site w/a bandaid or gauze (found at any local drugstore).
hope you feel better
You should get to a doctor immediately. If your jaw hasn't locked up on you already you're darn lucky.
No, it won't be too late. Are you sure your last shot was over 10 years ago?
just go to the doc if you need a booster they will give it to you but last time i had a splinter about 2" long in my foot had to get the shot in my butt ;'( lol then i went with someone else that had something wrong with there foot they got the shot in the arm i mean what the hell in the butt hurts
Well in the next couple of days, the sooner the better. But you don't need one for another 10 yrs.
This could be a serious problem and is preventable. I would suggest not waiting until tomorrow to get the shot. If you must wait until tomorrow then you should deffinately look for any changes in the skin, redness, swollen, etc. It could seriously cause an infection. Get it checked out!
