The depth of a two-millimeter wound after a fall on the road is shallow, but the wound is generally dirty, and foreign matter such as dirt and dust can easily enter the wound. The tetanus bacillus can be easily detected in the dirt and dust, which makes it easy to form tetanus infection. Therefore, the wound should be disinfected in a timely manner, debridement treatment, regular disinfection, dressing change treatment. And injection of tetanus antitoxin to prevent tetanus, at the same time need to take amoxicillin, cefaclor and other antibiotics to prevent infection.
