No need for the injection. But any wound needs to be immediately cleaned with soap and plenty of water. Medication needed if its deep wound.

You received a tetanus toxoid (TT) injection 4 days ago, and today you had a human bite with a small bleeding wound.
Next Steps
✔ Step 1: Immediate Wound Care
• Wash thoroughly with soap and running water for 5–10 minutes
• Apply povidone iodine or antiseptic
• Keep wound clean and dry
⸻
✔ Step 2: Antibiotic Consideration
Human bites often require preventive antibiotics, especially if:
• Skin is broken
• Bite is on hand/fingers
• There is swelling or redness
Typical first-line: Amoxicillin-clavulanate (doctor prescribed).
⸻
✔ Step 3: Watch for Warning Signs
Seek medical care urgently if:
• Increasing redness
• Swelling
• Pus
• Fever
• Increasing pain
Health Tips
✔ TT booster works — no repeat needed within days
✔ Human bites are more infectious than animal bites
✔ Early antibiotics prevent serious complications
✔ Do not ignore even small wounds
Since human bite wounds can worsen quickly within 24–48 hours, I recommend a quick online consultation to assess whether you need preventive antibiotics and avoid complications.
