Child take antitatinous vaccination before 5 years now he get injured with big wound
what u will give him:
- a. Toxoide ***
- b. Toxiode and antitatanous
- c. Antitatanous
The correct answer is c. Antitatanous.
Here's why:
- Tetanus toxoid:
This is a vaccine that stimulates the body's immune system to produce antibodies against tetanus. It's typically given as a series of injections in childhood, and boosters are recommended every 10 years.
- Antitetanus:
This is a medication containing tetanus antibodies that can immediately provide protection against tetanus if someone has not been vaccinated or their vaccination is not up-to-date.
In this case, the child has already received the tetanus toxoid vaccination before 5 years old. This means they have already developed antibodies against tetanus and are protected from the disease. Therefore, if they get a big wound, they only need antitetanus to boost their existing immunity and prevent tetanus infection.
Additional points:
The type of antitetanus given will depend on the child's vaccination history and the severity of the wound. In some cases, tetanus toxoid may also be recommended to boost immunity further.
It's important to seek medical attention immediately for any large or deep wound to ensure proper cleaning, wound care, and prevention of infection, regardless of vaccination status.
