What's tetanus like

First of all, people have tetanus, which is likely to lead to fever, and severe tetanus is likely to lead to death.

Secondly, the time from the appearance of increased muscle tension to the first appearance of myotonic spasm is called the initial spasm period. If the initial spasm period is shorter than 48 hours, it indicates that the disease is serious. The progress of the disease is manifested in the shortening of the intermittent period and the prolongation of the duration of spasm. If persistent spasm of laryngeal and respiratory muscles cannot be relieved, the patient may die immediately due to asphyxia.

Finally, antibiotic treatment: Clostridium tetanus does not invade the blood circulation and other organs and tissues, and its pathogenicity is completely caused by the exotoxin produced by bacteria. If the local infection can be completely drained and the anaerobic environment can be removed, the purpose of pathogen treatment can be achieved. Therefore, the purpose of antibiotic application is limited to killing Clostridium tetanus propagules and pyogenic bacteria invading the wound at the same time.

matters needing attention

In the case of tetanus, you should not touch the cold water with the wound, because the water will contain bacteria, leading to tetanus. This situation is more serious. You must go to the hospital in time for disinfection treatment, and do not eat some irritating food at ordinary times.
