Tetanus shot generally refers to tetanus antitoxin. If the wound is shallow and small, or even without obvious bleeding, no tetanus antitoxin injection can be given; if the wound is deep and heavily contaminated, tetanus antitoxin injection is needed in a timely manner.
For fishhooks on the hand caused by deep and heavily contaminated wounds, the local anaerobic microenvironment is easy to form, easy to cause Clostridium tetani infection, easy to induce tetanus, so we should seek medical treatment as soon as possible, the clean disinfection treatment, and injection of tetanus antitoxin, in order to prevent the onset of tetanus.
If the patient is allergic to tetanus antitoxin, tetanus human immunoglobulin can be injected, or tetanus antitoxin can also be used for desensitization injection, which can also achieve the purpose of prevention and treatment of tetanus.
It is recommended to seek medical treatment as soon as possible to prevent tetanus. If the patient suffers from any discomfort, the patient should inform the doctor in time to prevent accidents.
