Patient's question:
The baby accidentally contracted tetanus. In the past two days, the baby has been crying and fussing quite severely. I've heard from some villagers that small babies can get tetanus at birth, and if it's not treated, they may not survive. I would like to consult where to treat the baby for tetanus?Doctor's answer:
Tetanus is a very serious disease. The incubation period is short. If it develops once, it can easily cause life-threatening danger. In such cases, it is important to promptly administer a vaccine injection. Additionally, it is essential to closely monitor the child's condition to prevent any sudden incidents. Delaying treatment may lead to some sequelae. Pay attention to keeping the child's wound clean and hygienic. Eat some nutritious and light food. It is recommended that you come to the local children's hospital for examination and symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to monitoring the child's condition changes.
