Can tetanus needle be allergic


Empathy in care, excellence in medicine.
Tetanus shots may cause allergies, such as rash, itching, breathing difficulties, anaphylactic shock, etc., which can be life-threatening. Tell the truth about allergy history before injection and observe for at least 30 minutes after injection. Tetanus shots may cause allergies. Tetanus shots generally refer to tetanus antitoxin and tetanus immunoglobulin, both of which may cause allergic reactions. Tetanus antitoxin is a heterogeneous protein that can easily cause allergic reactions. Tetanus immunoglobulin is a blood product. Although the incidence of allergic reactions is low, it cannot be completely ruled out. Symptoms of allergic reactions include rash, itching, breathing difficulties, anaphylactic shock, etc. Severe allergic reactions can be life-threatening, so before giving tetanus shots, the doctor will ask the patient about his or her allergy history. If the patient has a history of tetanus allergy, or has been allergic to tetanus antitoxin or tetanus immunoglobulin, the doctor will choose alternative tetanus precautions, such as tetanus immunoglobulin. If the patient has no history of tetanus allergy, he or she should be observed at the hospital for at least 30 minutes after receiving the tetanus shot to see if there are symptoms of allergic reaction. If there are symptoms of allergic reaction, the doctor will immediately treat him or her, including the use of adrenaline, anti-allergic drugs, etc. It should be noted that tetanus is a very serious disease and once infected, the mortality rate is very high. Therefore, if a patient is at risk of tetanus infection, desensitization injections or alternative tetanus precautions should be administered under the guidance of a doctor, even if the patient is allergic to tetanus shots. In general, tetanus shots may be allergic, depending on the individual. Before receiving tetanus shots, patients should inform their doctor of their allergy history so that the doctor can choose appropriate precautions. After the injection, the patient needs to be observed in the hospital for a period of time in order to detect and manage the symptoms of allergic reactions in time.
