Avatar f tn Hello, I still have a lump from a tetanus shot in my arm from one year ago. The last few months every now and then it becomes itchy and it looks like I have been bitten by something there (but I haven't). Went to the GP about 6 months ago and said the lump still being there was ok... But haven't been since it becomes itchy. Any advice...

Avatar n tn ER nurse did prescribe me 10 days worth of antibiotic on the day of visit. One of the nurse wanted to give me tetanus shot but i refused lol im against vaccination and my wound was cut when i was cutting vegetables so theres less worries compared to something like meat.
Avatar f tn Have any of you had a tetanus shot? I was pain free until I had a tetanus shot in the upper arm. A week later I'm having severe pain 24/7. Has been going on now for 3 weeks.
Avatar f tn Its not an allergic reaction. Remember that shot also has tetanus in it. It's normal for it to be red and sore and that lump can actually last a couple weeks.
Avatar f tn 25 hours later, I got a tetanus booster shot. I had at least 2 Tetanus shot when I was a baby and another shot when I was 14. I am 26 now. 1. How long does it take for my booster shot to kick in? I heard that if you never have tetanus vaccine before, it will take 2 weeks to be effective. But if you got it before, then it only takes several days to boost up your immune system. What is the minimum days and the maximum days for it to kick in? 2 days, 4 days or more than that? 2.
Avatar n tn Hello, I assume you have taken Rabipur vaccine and tetanus shot after the dog bite. Dog bites can lead to puncture wounds. In such conditions bacteria get sealed inside the tissues. Indolent infections may take some time after the bite to actually start showing symptoms. Injury to the extensor tendons can also cause pain in the forearm. I will advise you to see a surgeon and get it checked. A clinical examination is very important. Do keep us posted. Best wishes!
Avatar m tn It appears to perhaps be attached to a vein. It is about an inch below the back of my hairline on the right side of my neck. the lump is very hard and the size of a pea or a beebee (sp?). I noticed this first two days ago not long after getting a particularly large insect bite about an inch or two from the spot. I'm not sure if these two are related. I've tried to rub it out, thinking it was just a tiny tense muscle knot or something, but it isnt going anywhere.
Avatar f tn She says it is, but I just question why am I doing so many things different from my other pregnancies. I got a flu shot, Did labs twice with the diabetes drink and now a Tetanus shot? Anybody else getting a tetanus shot at 28 weeks?

Avatar n tn s Syndrome), but when I was 27 I got scratched by a dog so I went to a doctor and they gave me a tetanus toxoid shot. I am 30 now. Do I need to get a jab again for this wound? I'm worried about immune hyperreaction. Plus I'm currently down with a cold.
982333 tn?1305788889 Let me know if anyone else has experienced worsened arthritis symptoms after a vaccination or shot. I wanted to get the flu shot soon, but I am scared now.

Avatar f tn It is the vaccine for whooping cough. The shot itself is a combination of tetanus and pertussis vaccine all in one. It is to protect your baby from getting whooping cough after they are born which is fatal to infants. It also vaccinates you as well.
Avatar m tn If the wound has been contaminated with dirt a tetanus shot may be needed if it has been more than 10 years since your last shot or if your last tetanus shot was more than 5 years ago. Tetanus shot should be given as soon as possible after the injury. There are chances that you have cellulitis.You may need anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics. Get it seen by a doctor. Do keep me posted. Best luck and regards!

Avatar n tn Now the lump is not painful. It is slightly movable. After reading up on google, I think it may be intestine which has squeezed through my abdominal muscles, though it feels too close to the skin as I have a few inches of fat there which should be in the way. I'm tempted to push it back into the belly! If there is an isolated pocket of intestinal waste, could it have turned septic? Do I bother seeing a doctor? Or will they just tell me to live with it? (Note- !

Avatar f tn About 5 years ago when I was 19 I got in a car crash and got a single tetanus shot, I dont know what kind, I was unconscious for several hours and dont remember what the paperwork said.
Avatar f tn Since the wound has healed, there is no risk of tetanus. Also, this late any shot will not protect you against this injury. If you had complete tetanus immunization profile with last dose administered between 13-18 years of age as part of DPT/polio cover program then you do not need any tetanus shots. You are covered under this immunization and need to take a shot only in high risk cases.
