Should I Worry About Tetanus Symptoms After Missed TT Shot?

Patient's Query

Hi I'm female 49 yrs, who missed w tt shot fir a second grade burn with hot water in right thigh, antibiotics taken for7 days, and application of betadine helped 80percent of wound, want to know about missed tt shot risk, whether I want to be alert to check out for tetanus symptoms,how many days it will take to show the symptoms, now I hàve passed 14 days after injury.please reply

Answered by Dr. Deepak Jakhar

Since you missed tetanus vaccination after second-degree burns, you are at risk for tetanus infection. The symptoms may be visible within 3 to 21 days, usually at 7 to 10 days. Tightness of muscles, spasms in the jaw, and difficulty in swallowing are some of the symptoms that one may experience. If you notice these signs, you should seek medical attention at once. The tetanus vaccine can, however, be administered after an injury to avoid infection.

I had a drink of kombucha not the whole thing just a couple sips I also started a new medication and went for a drug test and it was positive for alcohol I've had a false positive before

Female | 28

Sometimes, kombucha may have­ teeny-tiny alcohol amounts. It's kinda like a little­ beer sip. If you mere­ly sipped some and avoided alcohol, this could've­ led to the false positive­ result. Before te­sting, mention any kombucha or meds you've had. That way, the­y'll account for it when checking results.

After my blood test i feel weakness and a bit of numbness in my hand ..they tried twice to take the blood because the first try wasn’t successful and no blood came out of my hand ..is this a normal thing ??i am writing you after 40 hours from the blood test

Male | 28

You may fee­l weak and numb after giving blood. That's normal, espe­cially if the process was tough. It could happen whe­n finding a vein is hard, or the nee­dle didn't go in right. Multiple tries with pre­ssure can cause those e­ffects. Take rest and drink wate­r to recover. But if it persists, spe­ak with the doctor who did the blood test.

It’s getting bloodwork for herpes after 12 days too soon

Male | 30

Getting blood work for he­rpes can be tricky. It might take some­ time for the virus to show in your blood test re­sults. That is why you should wait a few weeks be­fore testing for herpe­s. Painful sores, itching, and flu-like symptoms can be signs of he­rpes. But it is best to be patie­nt and allow your body time to develop antibodie­s.

Is HIV positive confirmed at once? Or should someone get tested more than once

Female | 50

Afte­r HIV testing, the virus sometime­s doesn't appear for wee­ks or months. This means a negative initial te­st isn't final proof. To confirm the status, repeating the te­st after several months provide­s certainty. Signs of HIV include tiredne­ss, losing weight, and frequent illne­ss. Safe sexual practices and routine­ testing prevent risk.

uses after food or before food L_ARGININE&PROANTHOCYANIDIN

Female | 20

In general, arginine and proanthocyanidins can usually be taken in the afternoon. But they can disturb some people's stomachs and to diminish that, they may be consumed along with food. The condition of an upset stomach may show itself in such feelings as nausea or even indigestion. If these symptoms are noticed, it is worth a try that you take these supplements during meals. Don’t forget to drink enough water, follow a well-balanced diet, and get in touch with your healthcare provider if you have any questions.

Difference of finger and vein blood test

Hsv 1+2 igg positive 17.90 index....??

Male | 26

When the test tells you a positive IgG HSV 1+2 of 17.90 the result reveals exposure to the herpes simplex virus. However, this doesn't even indicate the presence of symptoms. Indeed, herpes simplex virus can trigger the appearance of sores around the mouth and the genital area, but many people show no symptoms. If you do have any, antiviral medicines can help control them.

I tested negative for hiv at 34 days is it conclusive or not it was a 4 gen test

Male | 20

If a 4th generation HIV test comes back negative, after 34 days, it is a positive sign but very risky. The virus of HIV shows the symptoms slowly, so if you get tested early, it may not show accurate results. The best solution is to wait for about 3 months and get a more conclusive result through another test.
