Is Antitetanus Injection Recommended After A Fall From Vehicle?
Had a fall from my 2 Wheeler. Got up and came home. Scratches( a little blood on the surface) on my arm and below knee. Feel a little constricted around the chest. Applied ice pack on scratch and took a nimesulide(Nise) tablet. Should I take antitetanus injection? I was prescribed Mobizox a few days earlier (for chest pain ECG OK - Cholesterol & Triglys Not OK !!). Will taking Mobizox relieve the constriction around my chest? : Male ; Age 61yrs. Thanks!!

Ya Antitetanus Inj is highly recommended after fall. If you have taken Antitetanus within last 5 years then its less significant to take.
