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 is the chance of getting tetanus?Doctor's answer:
For wounds, it is necessary to have a tetanus shot, and the choice depends on the condition of the wound. If it is a superficial skin injury, it is generally not necessary to have a tetanus shot. If the wound is small but deep and severely contaminated by industrial pollution, this situation is prone to tetanus transmission. Once tetanus is contracted, there is no specific treatment, so prevention is the most important. Actively participate in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
