Is bump on back after tetanus shot concerning?

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.

Answered on 10th Sept '24

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.

Hi, I am 41 year old man, and I need to remove fat from my face as well as double chin. Looking for the surgery but off course with scissor. So what would be the easiest way to Remove it and how long does it takes?

Male | 41

According to me, it is liposuction. It can be done in 1-2 hrs. But please note, liposuction is only recommended if you want to remove small amounts of fats. Many people mistake it as a weight loss procedure. I suggest you to visit a doctor for proper examination. Based on that, it will be decided whether you eligible for liposuction or need some other procedure to remove fat from your face and double chin.

I feel numbness near the treated area; is this temporary or should I be concerned?

Female | 65

Numbness in the treated area is normal after surgery. This may be because the medicine used in the process has some temporary effect on the nerves. Apart from this, you may have a tingling or pins and needles sensation. Usually, this numbness heals by itself as your body recovers. If the numbness symptom lasts for a long time or increases, you should notify your doctor.

Injury in fort in 1 month but not tetanus injection

Female | 47

If the injury happened about a month ago and you did not take a tetanus shot, which is why you are worried now, here is what you need to know: Tetanus is an infection caused by bacteria entering the cuts. Tingling and difficulty breathing might be the symptoms of tetanus. If it has been more than 10 years since you received your last tetanus shot, getting one is the safest option in case of any complications. The process is simple and the results are effective.

When the skin sticks to an internal organ, this is called adhesions. Adhesions can occur following an operation and may cause pain or discomfort when lifting heavy objects. If these adhesions are causing problems, it may be necessary to consult a doctor regarding possible solutions.

 Usually, the price of surgery for a splenic cyst will vary from one hospital to another and may be several thousand dollars. Typical symptoms could be pain in the abdomen, unpleasant sensations, or a bloated feeling of fullness. Apart from trauma, other causes of such conditions also exist as the underlying conditions might be responsible. Therapy could be one of the two, either watching the development or surgery when it's time. Talking to a doctor is an absolute must to get detailed instructions that suit your case, as well as to fully discuss your particular situation.

Sir my age is 26 I cut by the knife it’s since 14days the wound was recovered …is there any chance to effect with tetanus

Female | 26

If you are under 30 years old and your vaccines are up-to-date, you are at a lower risk for tetanus. Tetanus is caused by bacteria found in soil, dirt, or manure. People sometimes experience muscle stiffness, which can make swallowing difficult. Remember to check your immunization records.

bitten by dog , Please help me doctor Fast

Male | 25

When you have a dog bite, the area may hurt, swell, and turn red which could also bleed occasionally. Clean the wound softly with clean water and mild soap because it’s important after which you apply some antibiotic ointment or cream then cover with a dry sterile cloth or adhesive bandages. Make sure you visit a doctor for some checkups to ensure everything is okay since there might be more treatment needed like a tetanus shot among others.

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?

Male | 19

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 am Manish, 20 years old. I have high fever (100°) and mild headache since yesterday. Please recommend some medications.

Male | 20

Having a high fever and mild headache can make you feel pretty crummy. These symptoms can be due to an infection, like the flu or a cold. Taking acetaminophen can help bring down the fever and ease your headache. Rest, drink plenty of fluids, and keep an eye on your temperature. If your symptoms don't improve or worsen, it's important to reach out for further advice.
