Does my 22-month-old son need a TT shot after getting stitches for a deep cut on his thumb, and is there anything else I should monitor or do while he takes amoxcylin and ibrufene/combiflam?
Your little boy is likely protected if his routine childhood vaccinations are up to date, as they include tetanus protection. Please verify his immunization records with his pediatrician to be certain. While he takes amoxicillin and ibuprofen (Combiflam), ensure he finishes the entire antibiotic course as prescribed. Give the ibuprofen with food to protect his stomach. Monitor him for any signs of an allergic reaction, such as a rash, and watch his thumb for increased redness, swelling, or warmth. Keep him hydrated and comforted.
