1. Clean the wound with betadine. Wash out all dust and dirt
2. Injection Tetvac – stat intramuscular
3. Amoxicillin 500 mg every 8 hours for 7 days
4. Ibuprofen 600 mg every 8 hours per oral after meal for 3 days
5. Keep the wound open. Do not cover it
6. If you feel fever then go to hospital for further treatment
Thanks
