Hi!
Yes, tetanus shot given within 24 hours of a wound or wound contaminations works towards preventing tetanus. So, yes your ATS shot should work. Your symptoms could be due to dust and dirt and contamination of food with dirty hands etc. Also, area around a wound and around tetanus shot will be painful for some days. However, if symptoms persist, please consult a doctor. Take care!

The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you. The advice may not be completely correct for you as the doctor cannot examine you and does not know your complete medical history. Hence this reply to your post should only be considered as a guiding line and you must consult your doctor at the earliest for your medical problem.
