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? Please tell me under what circumstances it's necessary to break the tetanus.Doctor's answer:
Tetanus is a disease caused by the transmission of the tetanus bacterium. This disease is generally more common in larger and deeper wounds, especially in wounds with severe industrial pollution, making them more susceptible to tetanus bacteria. Therefore, in addition to strict debridement and sterilization, or even debridement alone, the administration of tetanus antitoxin anesthesia should be implemented to effectively prevent the recurrence of tetanus during work. Anti-inflammatory drugs may be used in conjunction with treatment when necessary.
