Patient's question:
Doctor, my dad got a nail stuck in his foot at the construction site a few days ago and got a tetanus shot. He couldn't resist his alcohol craving and asked me if he could drink beer. I'm not quite sure, so I'd like to consult the doctor about the consequences of drinking beer after getting a tetanus shot.Doctor's answer:
Accidentally stuck a nail in my foot, and tetanus antitoxin was used for anesthesia. However, since I have a drinking problem, I want to drink beer. The specific advice is that you should not drink beer. It is recommended that your father waits at least one week after the tetanus antitoxin anesthesia before considering drinking beer. Drinking beer now would be risky. Additionally, it is suggested that tetanus vaccine anesthesia can be administered. With this, if there is a wound again within 15 years, tetanus antitoxin anesthesia may not be needed.
