Question

How to diagnose neonatal tetanus?

Answer

If a newborn accidentally gets hurt, it is important to immediately administer a tetanus vaccine to prevent the disease from occurring. The initial symptoms are usually fever, and it is crucial to avoid bacterial invasion into the body to prevent acute infection. Since the child’s immune system is weak at this time, careful handling is necessary to prevent the infection from worsening. At the same time, attention should be paid to the intake of nutrients.
