Question
What is the disease known as ‘Child’s 46 Wind’?
Answer
Child’s 46 Wind, also known as tetanus, is an acute severe infectious disease that occurs during the neonatal period. It is caused by the Clostridium tetani bacteria entering the newborn’s umbilical cord and producing toxins. The main characteristics of this disease are lockjaw and stiffening spasms of the whole body muscles. Treatment can be quite difficult once infected, but fortunately, this disease can be prevented through effective preventive measures. It is recommended to undergo medication treatment under a doctor’s guidance.
