Question

Ashwin fell down while playing football. His mom helped him clean the wound and bandage it. What should he do next?

• A. Just let the wound heal up on its own
• B. Get a tetanus vaccine
• C. Take pain killers
• D. Go back playing football

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Get a tetanus vaccine

When the skin is cut by a dirty or rusted object, there is a chance of getting tetanus as harmful microorganisms are present in the soil and dust.

These bacteria get into your body through wounds and become active which could be life-threatening. Hence, getting tetanus shot can come in handy.
