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 the chin, resulting in a small cut. There was very little bleeding, only a minimal amount of seepage. After applying iodine and re-bandaging with gauze, the baby did not receive a tetanus vaccination. Will this situation lead to tetanus transmission? How should it be resolved further?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 the baby a speedy recovery. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my 30-month-old baby hits the edge of the bed with their chin around 7 PM on the 25th?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
