Clean it with detol. Apply betadine ointment. And cover it with bandaid. Must give tetanus injection. 1 dose straight away. Keep it clean locally with alcohol rub or sanitizer. No oil on head.or around keep it clean with sanitizer and apply betadine. It will heal. It require one stitch but at this time no need to around. .contussion with slight laceration will heal. Give vitA 50000 iu chewable tablet once a day for 10 days.
Next Steps
If you give total 3 doses of tetanus every month, it will be effective for 2-3 years..I advise it because children keep falling. Due Covid, you give only one dose. Lock down is on.
Health Tips
Ask children to be mindful. No hurry and try to avoid injury.
