The exact opinion regarding the same can not be given unless and until the wound is seen. But considering the points narrated by you, you doesn't seem to worry as you have already taken the proper care. My advice is that look for the symptoms such as fever & malice, or yellowish or greenish colored discharge from wound, which in case our would suggest the persistent infection. In that case you need to rush to doctor. Well I would like to suggest you even though you have taken the proper care, adding oral antibiotics such as lifetime+dicloxacilline two times a day (or similar) & anti-inflammatory agent would hasten the recovery. & in place of newsprint I will suggest you the application of mupirocin which is the better choice. If you have not immunized to tetanus it is advisable to get In TT I'm single dose.
