I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
If the injured person hasn't had a tetanus shot in the past five years and the wound is deep or dirty, your doctor may recommend a booster. The injured person should have the booster shot within 48 hours of the injury.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

You might consider a video consultations or a physical exam by a surgeon for correct diagnosis.
Your ointment is unlikely to help.

No need to take it, it is not a road traffic accident or it has not occurred outside then there is no need of tetanus.

Boost his protein diet for his safety as he have already taken the vaccine.

Rust doesn't cause tetanus, but stepping on a nail might if you're not immunized. In fact, any damage to the skin, even burns and blisters, allows tetanus-causing bacteria to enter the body. Tetanus is not as common as it once was. Still, tetanus patients have only about a 50-50 chance of recovering.
