disease treatment
Treatment includes cleaning the wound, eliminating the tetanus chlosteridium bacteria, treating neurological spasms and maintaining the respiratory system, relieving the symptoms and supporting the patient and finally preventing the recurrence of disease and prevention in the future.
The process of cleaning the wound first involves exploring it, washing it with water, then removing the foreign objects and dead tissues. The wounds must be punctured as soon as possible after giving the patient tetanus and antibiotics.
As long as tetanus toxin does not reach the spinal cord area, the immunoglobulin tetanus can attack and eliminate it. The dose is usually 500 mg.
The antibiotic chosen for the treatment of tetanus is penicillin. The patient is given approximately 100,000 units of medicine per kilogram per day of the patient’s body. The patient is given the drug for 12-14 days. Metazonidazole is an effective drug, giving the patient 500 milligrams three times a day for the same period.
All patients who have tetanus all over the body are given muscle relaxants. These are diazepam, which provides both muscle comfort and at the same time reduces nerve spasms. Medication also includes magnesium sulphate, dantrolin and baclofen.
As tetanus stimulates, as we mentioned earlier, simple sounds or even through the senses, so the patient is usually isolated in a dark room and removed from the sources of these disorders so as not to affect it and stimulate convulsions, and during this period should take care of the patient’s skin and follow the urine and the question about Stool and entry into the bathroom.
