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? What should I pay attention to when treating tetanus?Doctor's answer:
As long as there is a wound, especially when it comes into contact with rusted substances, this situation requires muscle injection of tetanus for effective prevention. The tetanus bacterium enters the human body through the skin or mucous membranes, leading to tetanus. It is recommended that muscle injection within 24 hours is relatively effective. If it is diagnosed that the tetanus toxin is attacking, the mortality rate is very high, and it makes little sense to break the tetanus in this case.
