How should neonatal tetanus be treated?

Patient's question:

My baby was just born a month ago, but because of being born prematurely, her body was already a bit weak. Recently, she caught tetanus because I accidentally let her catch a cold. I don't know how to treat it properly. Hello, how should neonatal tetanus be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the child has again developed neonatal tetanus, which is a serious condition. It is necessary to use tetanus antitoxin based on the child's symptoms and provide timely symptomatic treatment to adjust accordingly. It should gradually improve. Pay close attention to observing the child's symptoms regularly, and if necessary, seek medical treatment for symptomatic adjustment for a period of time to monitor the response.
