When was the last time you got vaccinated for it?

go do you vaccination, anyway you will start getting paralized if it's tetanus and that will make you notice, and it's curable even then

Even with a fever and shit?

You should be protected.

fever is not a marker of tetanus, since it has a very low bacterial amount. it's the toxin that gives you paralisis. if you have a very high fever plus the cut area is red, hot, swollen and painful you most likely have an infection that is unrelated to tetanus but more than worth a medical check.
if you didnt and the cut is still fresh enough to allow it, clean it as well as possible, apply sterilizing stuff if you have any. fever is a sistem response only done after the bacteria are in your blood and that will take dayS, the timing is not right
