Tetanus injections are usually given as early as possible within 24 hours of the trauma.
Patients should be injected with tetanus antitoxin or tetanus immunoglobulin as soon as possible after trauma, generally the earlier the injection the better the effect, and its optimal injection time is within 24 hours after the injury, and should not exceed 48 hours.
Tetanus is a specific infection caused by tetanus bacillus, its incubation period is mostly about a week, some patients can develop in 2~3 days, only injected before the onset of tetanus can play an effective role, so there should be an early injection of tetanus antitoxin after the trauma, for emergency prevention, so as not to cause irreparable consequences.
If patients have trauma, they need to go to the hospital in time and get tetanus injection as early as possible under the guidance of the doctor to avoid adverse consequences.
