What are the adverse effects of tetanus shots?

The *** of tetanus injection is mainly manifested in the following aspects:

First of all, anaphylactic shock, which often occurs suddenly during or within a few minutes to dozens of minutes after injection, the patient is irritable, pale or flushed, chest tightness, wheezing, cold sweat, nausea, abdominal pain, pulse count, blood pressure drop, and even coma and collapse;

Secondly, patients are prone to urticaria, fever, lymphoma, local edema, and occasionally proteinuria, vomiting, joint pain and other symptoms, and erythema, itching and edema may occur at the injection site.

The above adverse reactions are all adverse reactions of the routine application of tetanus antitoxin in hospitals, and if tetanus immune globulin is used, there are basically no serious adverse reactions.

Question 1: Why do you need tetanus shots after a person is injured? Tetanus is a long-established Clostridium infection, which can be caused by Clostridium tetani invading human wounds, growing and multiplying, and producing toxins.

Tetanus bacilli and its toxins cannot invade the normal ** and mucous membranes, so tetanus occurs after injury. Tetanus is a risk of any open injury. The early symptoms of tetanus are muscle cramps, often referred to as "cramps".

The earliest symptom in most patients is facial muscle spasms, which are characterized by the inability to open the mouth and painful muscle spasms in front of the ears when chewing food. Many patients mistakenly think that it is a dental disease and go to the dentistry. The dentist often only finds spasms of the masticatory muscles and temporal muscles, but there is no dental disease in the mouth that causes difficulty in opening the mouth.

The more the patient is asked to open his mouth, the more the patient cannot open it, and even closes it tighter and tighter. At this time, if there is a slight negligence on the part of the brother, it can be delayed, but if you have the knowledge of diagnosis in this area, you can think of tetanus and get a timely ** mold stool slip, most of which can be cured. However, many dentists do not necessarily have this knowledge, so there are many delays.

Once the muscles of the whole body spasm and twitch, and then turn the head to think of tetanus, the prognosis is very bad.

Question 2: Why tetanus shots Definition of tetanus: Tetanus is a temporary functional change in the central nervous system caused by the multiplication of tetanus bacilli in a pyogenic wound to produce exotoxins. The clinical manifestations of tetanus are persistent systemic skeletal muscles.

Question 3: If you are pierced by an iron nail, why do you need a tetanus shot, and what does it mean I think it depends on your own thoughts, if you don't think it's deep, you don't need to take it, you won't be the unlucky person. Hehe.

Question 4: Why tetanus shots, do all wounds have to be treated with metal, chickens and dogs and other broken ones should be tetanus shots.

The first reaction after an injury is to go to the hospital to get it dressed, and the doctor will also recommend a tetanus shot before the bandage. Some people will refuse tetanus due to their own reasons, but they are worried that if they don't have tetanus, they will have some abnormal symptoms, so what are the symptoms of not having tetanus shots?

Not having tetanus requires a certain amount of risk. After tetanus, the corners of the mouth will shrink, the patient may also have a wry smile, and the muscles in the throat may also have spasms. In severe cases, there may also be muscle spasms throughout the body.

There are also some abnormal phenomena such as urinary retention, fractures, death, and heart failure.

If you find that you have a deep wound, it is generally recommended to go to the hospital in time to clean the wound, and at the same time inject tetanus vaccine to avoid infection with tetanus, the mortality rate of this disease is also very high, and the difficulty of the clinic is very large, the time of tetanus injection is within 24 hours after the injury.

Tetanus is caused by the patient's wound infection with Clostridium tetani, which is very easy to multiply in an anaerobic environment and even produces some exotoxins that affect the patient's entire body. When bacteria enter the peripheral nerve cells, they will continue to enter the central nervous system along the nerve cells, which will cause the muscles of the whole body to be affected.

Tetanus antitoxin adverse effects:

Anaphylactic shock. Serum sickness: the main symptoms are urticaria, fever, lymphadenopathy, local edema, occasional proteinuria, vomiting, arthralgia, erythema, itching and edema at the injection site. Generally, the onset occurs 7 to 14 days after injection, which is called delayed.

There are also cases of onset 2 to 4 days after injection, which is called accelerated type.

If the second case is symptomatic, anti-allergic**, calcium or antihistamine drugs can be cured, usually within a few days to ten days.

Once, I accidentally cut my hand and got a tetanus injection before getting stitches, and the doctor would do a skin test before the tetanus. I had no adverse reactions to the skin test, and after 30 minutes of monitoring, there was no discomfort, but after returning home (two or three hours later), there were a few red spots on both small arms, and I didn't go to the hospital without discomfort, and then I was fine.

There are a lot of red envelopes on both lower limbs, which are hard, hot, and itchy.

Tetanus has a long incubation period! You're not a symptom of tetanus! Do not worry! Go to the hospital for a traumatic checkup!
