Answers:
Run it under some cold water to rinse the blood off, put some antibiotic medicine on it (make sure it says antibiotic) and put a bandage on it. If it swells more, put ice on it and you can take ibuprofen for the pain and like the first person said, see the doctor right away.Health Question & Answer

You need to see a doctor right away, because your tetanus shot has probably worn off by now, and you'll need another one. also, the cut should be treated with an antibiotic, to prevent it from becoming infected.Health Question & Answer

You should go and get a tetanus shot as soon as possible.Health Question & Answer
