Do I need two tetanus shots for blade cuts?

One of my friend got two cuts from blade but he showed only one cut to the doctor and didn't showed the other cut so doctor injected him a tetanus shot,is one tetanus shot enough for two cuts of blade?

Answered on 22nd Oct '24

Tetanus is a serious infection caused by bacteria that may enter the body through wounds. Perhaps your friend was cut twice by a blade but only got one tetanus shot. Therefore, there's a risk of tetanus developing in the other cut. One tetanus shot may not be sufficient for two cuts. Tetanus symptoms usually include muscle stiffness and trouble swallowing. As a precaution, your friend should visit a doctor again and get a second tetanus shot for the other cut.

I fell like lump on my left side belly i am worried about this

Male | 22

Finding a new lump in your abdomen could be a fright but it is also logical. It may not necessarily be a lump in here but mostly the following: a pulled muscle, a lipoma (a fatty lump), or the very worst case a hernia. Most of these lumps are not dangerous but it is concerned if there are changes or other symptoms along with it, such as pain or swelling. It is always better to talk to your health provider so that you are not misdiagnosed, and the problem does not get any knockout worse. Feel free to get in touch with a doctor as they are the ones who can really help you by giving your specific advice and reassuring you about your health.

Recently one week back i got tetanus shot due to small cut on my leg..the leg is fine now but i think the tetanus injection didn't get through well,i got bump on my back and its still not healing .There are no signs of any pain but is this a matter to bother is my concern.

Male | 20

I understand you’re worried about the bump at the site of your tetanus shot. It’s normal to have a bump there, and it might take some time to heal. Your immune system is reacting to the vaccine as if it were a foreign substance. If there’s no pain or redness, it’s usually not a cause for concern. Just be patient, and the bump should go away on its own. However, if you notice any unusual symptoms, it's best to seek medical advice.

The parts which need to be taken out is uterus including cervix and sparing the ovaries for better hormonal function . We need detailed reports and history for better evaluation .

Why doctors refuse hysterectomy?

Female | 46

In some cases, doctors may refuse hysterectomy due to ethical or moral objections like in sterilization surgeries. Some doctors may also be bound by institutional or legal guidelines that restrict certain surgeries based on age, medical necessity, or other factors.

Isolation 37% is better or not

Male | 30

The term "isolation" often refers to a type of lab test, such as a blood or pathogen analysis. A result of 37% may indicate an abnormality that could be linked to various conditions, including infections or immune responses. Symptoms can vary significantly, including fatigue, fever, or swelling. It’s important to consult with a healthcare provider to discuss these findings in detail.

I had my gallbladder operation in the year 2021 .Why I am having sharp needle like pain after drinking hot milk tea for 21 days .Near the incision area I have red swelling.

Female | 65

This could be a case of surgical site infection. Usually, this happens after surgery where there is an incision made thereby causing redness as well as swelling around where you were cut. It might help if you keep that place dry after cleaning it every once in a while but try not to touch too much or else there might be more pain. Make sure to visit your doctor so they can figure out what else needs to be done about this.

Hernia elipsia treatment and causes

Male | 34

A hernia typically occurs when an internal organ pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle. Symptoms may include a noticeable bulge, discomfort, or pain in the affected area. Common causes involve heavy lifting, obesity, or age-related muscle deterioration. Treatment usually involves surgery to repair the weakened area, which can effectively alleviate symptoms and prevent complications. It’s important to maintain a healthy lifestyle and manage weight to reduce risk. I encourage you to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and personalized advice tailored to your specific situation.

Who are the best laparoscopic surgeons in Dubai?

Female | 36

For the application of laparoscopic surgery, the most important criterion is to choose a doctor who knows how to follow safety rules and take care of the patient. For the most part, a minimally invasive approach is good to go in situations such as gallbladder problems, hernias, or pain in the abdomen. The symptoms are usually related to discomfort, bloating, or changes in digestion. Find well-known doctors with substantial experience in this field so that they can guarantee you sound treatments by their expertise. I propose that a competent health professional guide you.

I'm 29 years old. I have spleen cyst, 2 years ago the size of spelenic cyst was 4cm.Is spelenic cyst surgery possible in odisha? Please reply me

Male | 29

Spleen cysts mostly imply a benign status and usually do not cause any symptoms at all. There are different factors that may be the cause of them such as infections or trauma. A 4 cm sized cyst can be watched by imaging tests like ultrasounds and incidental findings are going to be removed surgically, it is an option for the patient. In some places in Odisha, medical centers and hospitals are able to do this type of surgery. I suggest that you talk to a healthcare professional who can give you the right advice and ensure your good health.
