What are the symptoms of tetanus infection?

Typical symptoms of tetanus are masticatory muscle spasms, a wry smile on the face, stiffness of the limbs and muscles, and even an inverted angular arch. If the patient is seriously ill, it may cause respiratory muscle spasms, resulting in suffocation and death. Tetanus is a more serious disease, normally caused by infection with tetanus bacilli. Therefore, it is recommended that if the patient has trauma, he should go to the hospital for debridement, and inject tetanus antitoxin or tetanus immunoglobulin in time within 24 hours, which can effectively prevent tetanus infection. If the patient's wound infection is very serious, local suppuration is obvious, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time for debridement again, and if necessary, tetanus antitoxin can be injected again.
