I decided that I needed to have a medical attention regarding a problem that started 7/29/24 did not appear to be getting better. At the appointment I learned that all was well, no medicine was needed and I learned of an at home treatment that could help with it getting better. It was as a big help.

Yesterday I woke up with an itch and red swelling on my skin. I’ve had this problem before and I knew I was going to have to get some special help so being a veteran I was told that I should go to your doctor in West Ocean City upon arriving, I was signed in and within a very short time I was seen by Dr, the doctor analyze the problem to be hives and he gave me a prescription at that time. I have learned from my doctor in West Palm Beach Florida hospital that I should have the doctor fill out some of his findings. I am going to return to your doctor in  Today to give him a guideline on what West Palm Beach VA hospital will need. i’d like to thank the doctor and all of the staff for the help that you gave me in my short visit.

About Tetanus Shots

A tetanus shot is used to prevent tetanus, also known as lockjaw. Tetanus is a bacterial infection that can lead to painful muscle spasms, and oftentimes, death. Adults in the US have to be vaccinated against tetanus because there's currently no cure for it and roughly 10 to 20 percent of victims die from tetanus. Symptoms of tetanus come from a toxin produced by tetanus bacteria and usually begin appearing about a week after the infection occurs. The most common symptom is muscle stiffness that begins in the jaw and spreads to the neck, arms, legs, or abdomen, but other symptoms include trouble swallowing, headache, fever and sweating, irritability and restlessness, high blood pressure, palpitations, and muscle spasms in the face.

It's important to get treated for tetanus as soon as you know you're infected because if it's not treated quickly enough, you can die from suffocation. Tetanus shots are given in the shoulder muscle. If you've never had a tetanus shot before, you might be given a three-dose primary series. You'll get the first dose as a three-in-one combination called Tdap that prevents tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), and diphtheria (Td). The other two doses will usually be a dual vaccine and you'll receive them over a 7 to 12 month period. You should receive a tetanus vaccine between 2 months and 6 years old, as well as a teenager and an adult. Pregnant women might need a tetanus shot during the third trimester of pregnancy.
