What is a child with four-six wind?

Patient's question:

My child doesn't know what's wrong, but their head keeps tilting to one side. So, I took them to the hospital, and the doctor said it's "four-six wind." Usually, my child is quite healthy and doesn't show any discomfort. What is "four-six wind" in children?

Doctor's answer:

Children's tetanus, also known as tetanus, is an acute and severe infectious disease characterized by jaw stiffness and generalized muscle rigidity, caused by the invasion of Clostridium tetani into the umbilical cord and the production of toxins. Neonatal tetanus is a major disease that threatens the life and health of newborns. Once infected, treatment is relatively difficult, but neonatal tetanus can be effectively prevented. It is recommended that medication and treatment for this disease be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
