Patient's question:
Previously, my physical condition was good. This time, the illness: there is pain when pressing the right lung, but no pain when not pressed. Other corresponding symptoms of tuberculosis are absent, no coughing, and no phlegm. After the X-ray, it was diagnosed as tuberculosis. How is "sore throat wind" treated?Doctor's answer:
Tetanus is a special infection caused by Clostridium tetani, which leads to muscle spasms. It invades the human body through skin or mucosal wounds, grows and multiplies in an oxygen-deprived environment, and produces toxins. Tetanospasmin primarily invades the motor neurons of the nervous system. Therefore, the clinical characteristics of tetanospasmin include jaw clenching, spasms, and rigidity. The main muscle groups affected include the masseter, spinal erector muscles, abdominal muscles, and limb muscles. Maintain medication regularly without interruption, enhance nutrition and rest, and prevent infection. Active comprehensive treatment measures should be adopted, including eliminating the source of toxins, neutralizing free toxins, controlling and relieving spasms, maintaining airway patency, and preventing complications.
