Patient's question:
The baby is 30 months old. On the evening of the 25th, at 7 PM, the baby hit the edge of the wooden bed with their chin, creating a small cut. There was very little bleeding, only a minimal amount of seepage. After cleaning with iodine and re-bandaging with gauze, the baby did not receive a tetanus vaccine. Could this situation lead to tetanus transmission? How should it be further addressed?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it is generally necessary to have a tetanus shot within 24 hours. You should go to the hospital early to undergo sterilization treatment and receive anti-inflammatory therapy to prevent infection. Do not attempt to treat it yourself blindly to avoid adverse consequences. Wishing your baby a speedy recovery.This is the advice for the question "My baby is 30 months old.
