What Are The Possible Medication To Avoid Infection On A Wound?

my son fell on a rusy nail and it left a punture wound in his calf. I cleaned it with peroxide and it is covered with neosporan and bandaid. He is 8 and had a tetnus about 3 years ago. I am nervous about infection. The nail was coming out of a board of pressure treated wood.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

As your son fell on a rusty nail which caused puntured wound on his left calf and you cleaned it with peroxide and covered with neosporin and band aid. He is 8 year old and has received Inj TT about 3 years ago.

For your sons condition I would suggest you to follow
1.Keep the wound clean and dry.
2.Oral Antibitotics like Tab Clamp forte kid, twice daily for at least five days to prevent infection of the wound.
3. Syp Dolo, will help to reduce the pain and fever associated with the wound.
4. Dress the wound regularly.
Thank you.
