Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been having high fever that won't go down. The hospital said it's a viral infection. What kind of infectious disease did I get? When is it best to get a tetanus shot within a few hours?Doctor's answer:
If your wound is deep, it is recommended that you receive tetanus antitoxin within 24 hours. Tetanus antitoxin can effectively prevent the transmission of tetanus bacteria. During this period, it is essential to pay attention to hygiene and use povidone-iodine for sterilization to avoid wound inflammation. Be mindful to avoid consuming excessive spicy and stimulating foods in your diet. Actively participate in physical exercise to regulate physical and mental health.
