Hi,welcome to healthcare magic forum.
You can wait for 2-3 days to see whether it is coming down or not.If not,report to you doctor.If it is getting fine,you can stop after completing the course.Also,it is fine to have tetanus toxoid injection if you had not one recently.
I hope you will find this information useful.Thank you.
