Patient's question:
Doctor, I am an unmarried mother. I just had a baby recently, and I have been troubled by a problem lately, which makes me very distressed. I would like to consult you. What are the symptoms of neonatal tetanus? I especially need your clarification and explanation. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
If you gave birth to your baby in a regular hospital, it is generally absolutely impossible to have tetanus, because regular hospitals undergo high-temperature sterilization and have very strict operations. However, if the child in Dalian still gets tetanus, they will repeatedly experience symptoms such as low-grade fever and convulsions. So if everything is normal after the baby is born, this possibility will never exist.
