What medicine does tetanus take

summary

Recently, it's raining heavily every day. The road is very slippery. I accidentally fell on my way to work. As a result, I bumped into a piece of iron on the other side of my foot and hurt a small hole. When I went home, I wiped it with disinfectant and left it alone. As a result, I felt weak and dizzy. The doctor said it was tetanus. Today, let me learn from you what medicine to take for tetanus.

What medicine does tetanus take

Drug 1: tetanus should focus on local wound cleaning, such as debridement, application of hydrogen peroxide and other sufficient cleaning, application of iodine, alcohol and other disinfectants, timely injection of tetanus antitoxin, should also be appropriate application of penicillin, erythromycin, cephalosporin and other active control of infection, has the effect of treatment, the specific should follow the guidance of clinicians.

Drug 2: eliminate the source of toxin. If there is a wound, thorough debridement should be performed under the control of spasm. After removing the necrotic tissue and foreign body, open the wound to facilitate drainage, and use 3% hydrogen peroxide or 1:1000 potassium permanganate solution to wash and wet compress frequently. If the primary wound has healed at the time of onset, debridement is generally not necessary.

Drug 3: use tetanus antitoxin to neutralize the free toxin. Since neither tetanus antitoxin nor human tetanus immunoglobulin can neutralize the toxin that has been combined with nerve tissue, it should be used as soon as possible to neutralize the free toxin.
