Is TD Shot Necessary For Injury After Stepping On Glass?

Hello Dr. Samuel, I steped on a pience of glass yesterday. The glass did not stick into my foot and was on the floor after i pulled my foot up. It bled a lot but after appling pressure it slowed and eventually stoped bleeding. After that I cleaned it out with over the counter antiseptic and hospital grade antiseptic. It hurts slightly when apply pressure on the foot with the cut but does not normally hurt and has no coloration to it. I also looked and had my las TD shot 7 years ago. Do you suggest I see a doctor?

Hi Dear
Since you was stepped on a piece of glass, bleeded profusely and took your last TD shot 7 years back i will recommend you to go and see your doc for a fresh tetanus toxoid shot.
