Tetanus three days apart without injection or sterilization is not acceptable and is extremely harmful.
In the absence of oxygen, Clostridium tetani multiplies rapidly and produces a large amount of exotoxin. The exotoxin is a spasmodic toxin, which can damage the spinal cord and brainstem after absorption, manifesting as increased excitability of motor neurons, resulting in tension and spasm of random muscles, and can also lead to sympathetic over-excitation.
With the aggravation of the disease, patients can appear respiratory muscle paralysis, resulting in respiratory arrest, high mortality.
Therefore, it is necessary to take timely measures after the injury, including wound debridement, regular dressing changes; injection of tetanus antitoxin or tetanus immunoglobulin to prevent and control tetanus; taking antibiotics such as amoxicillin, cefaclor to prevent and control infections and so on.
All of the above medications should be used under the guidance of a physician and should not be used without authorization. If the injury is not treated in time and early symptoms of tetanus such as tightness in the biting muscles occur, you should seek immediate medical attention and obtain prompt disposition.
