Question

What to Do If a 2-Year-Old Accidentally Hits the Back of Their Head While Playing?

Answer

Pay attention to the child’s injury condition, generally it is not recommended to administer tetanus antitoxin anesthetics. Guideline: Since tetanus bacteria thrive in anaerobic or oxygen-free environments, the child’s injury is an open wound (oxygen-rich), and it is generally suggested that timely local cleaning and sterilization should suffice.
