Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been having high fever that won't go down. I went to the hospital for a check-up and they said it's a viral infection. What kind of infectious disease did I get? Please tell me what tetanus can cause and how to identify it?Doctor's answer:
The most typical symptom after tetanus infection is the recurrence of generalized muscle spasms, which is also the main basis for confirming tetanus infection. Therefore, if you have had a wound in the past and the aforementioned symptoms reappear, it is necessary to seek medical treatment at a hospital for standardized care. If it is just a fever, it does not rule out wound infection. For treating wound infection, antibiotics are primarily used.
