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 after getting the tetanus shot?Doctor's answer:
Tetanus shots can cause allergic reactions. Before taking medication, a skin test is usually performed. Even with this precaution, some people may still have allergic reactions. In such cases, they are generally monitored in the hospital for about half an hour after receiving the shot. If there are no issues, they can go home and rest. At home, it is also important to pay attention to any recurrence of symptoms such as rashes, fever, or chest tightness. Due to the presence of trauma, it is advisable to avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as alcohol and smoking. Regular dietary foods are generally acceptable, such as fruits, vegetables, meat, and eggs.
