Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been having high fever that won't go down. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was a viral infection. What kind of infectious disease did I get? How should I handle it if I'm allergic to tetanus?Doctor's answer:
Hello! You have a history of trauma and skin abrasions, so it is essential to consider anesthesia, tetanus prophylaxis, and antibiotics. If you experience an allergic reaction again, you can consider an alternative high-cost tetanus immunoglobulin for anesthesia that does not require a skin test. If this medication is not available, desensitization anesthesia can also be considered, but this method carries a high risk of allergic reactions, and many hospitals no longer use it. Maintain a regular schedule and actively participate in physical exercise to regulate physical and mental health.
