I have a bite wound from a dog. Only 1 small puncture wound just breaking skin, only a drop of blood, surrounding area is bruised. I received a tetanus jab last year in may for a worse bite. Do I need another jab, and is it ok to massage the surrounding area of the bitemark to relieve bruising. Dog-vaccinated, no rabies, sick with jaundice, fever and diarrhea.

Inj tetanus should be taken now for this injury. How about the status of the vaccination of the dog. If you do not know, then you must take a course of antirabies injections asap.
