Hi
Yes, you have taken Inj TT at the right time. No such side effects is reported in tetanus toxoid, if the injection is given correctly. 1-2 days of mild fever and pain is a usual phenomenon seen after this injection. How ever it should not be so debilitating that one will not be able to perform day to day activity. Sore throat is never associated.
May be it is due to another associated viral infection.
You can wait for 1 - 2 days or may take any pain killer tablet. Hope it will resolve the problem.
Regards
