What will happen if you don’t get a tetanus shot

Without tetanus shots, there is a risk of contracting tetanus and developing muscle spasms, which in severe cases can endanger the patient’s life. After contracting tetanus, in the early stages of the disease, the patient will experience weakness, headache, dizziness, weakness in chewing, and tightness in the facial muscles. If the disease progresses further, it can lead to muscle spasms, and the patient will experience clenching of the teeth, corns, and stiffness in the neck. If the respiratory muscles are affected, it may lead to respiratory failure, which can endanger the patient’s life. So after the occurrence of the wound, if the wound is deep and the wound is heavily contaminated, it is recommended that a timely tetanus injection can effectively prevent tetanus infection. Generally choose tetanus antitoxin, in the injection of this drug before the need to do skin tests, can prevent anaphylactic shock.
