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 villagers that some newborn babies can get tetanus, and if it's not treated properly, 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, it can easily cause life-threatening danger. In such cases, timely vaccination should be administered. It is also essential to closely monitor the baby's condition to avoid any sudden incidents. Delayed treatment may leave some sequelae. Pay attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of the baby's wound. Eat some nutritious and light food. It is recommended that you visit the local children's hospital for examination and symptomatic treatment. Monitor the baby's condition changes.
