Question

A five-month-old baby suffering from tetanus has undergone traditional Chinese medicine treatment at Beijing De Sheng Men Hospital. Currently, the symptoms are more severe in the morning and in groups. Question: How long does it take for traditional Chinese medicine treatment to control the recurrence of tetanus?

Answer

For children with tetanus, the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine treatment is slow and often not ideal. It is recommended to primarily adopt Western medicine and pharmaceuticals, as long-term recurrence may have a greater impact on brain development. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment can be used as an adjunct but cannot be the main treatment method.
