Tetanus Symptoms
Tetanus symptoms include muscle stiffness and spasms, commonly starting in the jaw (lockjaw) and spreading to the neck and limbs. Other tetanus symptoms are difficulty swallowing, fever, and sweating. Left untreated, severe tetanus symptoms can lead to respiratory issues and fractures. Early treatment is critical to manage tetanus symptoms effectively.
