Suggest Treatment For A Cut In The Toe Caused By A Rusty Object
I m 10 weeks pregnant. Last Wednesday, I was cut by a rusty object (it s a piece of metal at the bottom of our comfort room s door) in my smallest toe. No puss. No swelling. But yesterday, I woke up with a sore throat (not that stingy, though) and I get so irritated very much. I didn t get to have tetanus vaccine ever since. Is this a sign of tetanus? What should I do? Thanks.

Hello, Thnx to contact us. If I am your treating doctor I would like to advice you that no it is not sign of tetanus but as you are pregnant you should be vaccinated. tetanus is characterized by spasmatic attack. Sore throat is may be because of something else may be viral infection. I advice to take a gamma globulin of tetanus to be taken under your doctors consultation, it will give you immediate protection. If you have anything else to ask please contact me. Thanx.
