Scratches often require only a tt. If your mother has been vaccinated within 6 months then no need for anything else.

The tetanus toxoid (tt) vaccine is given during your pregnancy to prevent the risk of tetanus to you as well as your unborn baby. Tetanus is a life-threatening bacterial disease that is caused by the toxin of a bacterium called clostridium tetani. Tetanus bacteria enter the body through an open wound.

Additional doses every 10 years are recommended. In those who are not up to date on their tetanus immunization a booster should be given within 48 hours of an injury. Let's have a detailed discussion for better advice and healthy lifestyle.

This seems like a urinary tract infection. You will need antibiotics for which you will need a prescription. You need to consult someone directly for a prescription as it cannot be done on this forum.
