Tetanus shots are generally not recommended for people with fever.
In current clinical practice, the tetanus injections are tetanus antitoxin and tetanus human immunoglobulin. After injection, it may cause an allergic reaction of the body. In the state of fever, the injection of tetanus antitoxin and tetanus human immunoglobulin is not conducive to the diagnosis of fever, and it is easy to miss the diagnosis of tetanus-induced anaphylactic reaction, so it is not recommended to give tetanus shots in the case of fever.
If you happen to have fever after the injury and cannot inject tetanus antitoxin and tetanus human immunoglobulin, you can effectively debride the wound, remove the contaminants in the wound, disinfect the wound as much as possible, and treat the wound with antibiotics such as amoxicillin and cefaclor.
In addition to this, after a series of injections of tetanus, it is recommended to eat a light diet in the two days after the injection, take more rest, maintain good sleep, increase the body’s immunity, so that the body has a certain degree of tolerance to tetanus antitoxin and human immunoglobulin.
