Patient's question:
The child was injured on the hand a few days after birth. Will this situation lead to tetanus? How should it be judged and treated to prevent the occurrence of this disease in the future?Doctor's answer:
If this situation occurs, a tetanus shot should be given for the first time to prevent the disease from occurring. The initial adverse symptoms are usually fever. Avoid this bacterium from invading the human body, causing some growth and reproduction, which can easily lead to some acute infections. During this period, children's immunity is relatively low, and it must be handled with caution to avoid another situation. Some infections can worsen the condition, so attention should be paid to the intake of nutrients.
