I know this is kind of stupid, but okay I was fixing this thing at my house and my hand slipped and a nail went underneath my finger nail. It cut the skin a little and ripped/broke my nail a little also, it also looks like a little piece might be stuck underneath my fingernail. I'm not completely positive that it was nail, it might have been a piece of wood but chances are it was probably a nail if it broke my actual finger nail. I am 22 and got my last tetanus shot when I was 12. So it has been 10 years. I don't want to go to the doctor if it is something minor and the cut is very minor it actually doesn't even hurt, but what I'm concerned about is the piece of something stuck under my nail. If anyone knows anything about tetanus, wounds, and tetanus shots, can you please let me know what is suggested, should I still go to the doctor and get it checked out or should I just let it go and not worry about it and watch for symptoms, also what would you do? Thank you so much!
