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? How is tetanus diagnosed?Doctor's answer:
Tetanus can be prevented. When your wound is severely contaminated with industrial pollution or is deep, you should get a tetanus vaccine. Once you receive the tetanus vaccine, the risk of getting tetanus will be significantly reduced. Patients don't need to be too anxious. Tetanus has initial symptoms, and patients may feel they cannot open their mouths when drinking water or eating dinner. In such cases, they should go to the hospital for further examination.
