You can use Dettol liquid instead of betadine.
1. Clean the wound with Dettol. Wash out all dust and dirt
2. Injection Tetvac – stat intramuscular
3. Amoxicillin 500 mg every 8 hours for 7 days
4. Apply soframycin cream every 8 hours
5. Ibuprofen 400 mg every 8 hours per oral after meal for 3 days if you feel pain. Otherwise avoid it
6. Keep the wound open. Do not cover it
Thanks
