My son cut his leg on rusty metal what should i do?

Seek medical attention. This is the most important step, as tetanus and other infections can be serious or even life-threatening. A doctor can clean the wound, remove any foreign objects, and administer a tetanus shot if necessary.

Clean the wound thoroughly. If you are unable to get to a doctor immediately, you can clean the wound yourself. Use soap and water to gently wash the wound, and remove any dirt or debris.

Apply a bandage. Once the wound is clean, apply a sterile bandage to stop the bleeding and protect the wound from infection. Change the bandage every day or as needed.

Watch for signs of infection. Signs of infection include redness, swelling, increased pain, or pus. If you notice any of these symptoms, see a doctor immediately.

Get a tetanus shot. Your son should get a tetanus shot if he has not had one in the past 10 years. Check with your son's doctor for further guidance.
