Homeopathic Treatment of Tetanus
Homeopathy is not a substitute of vaccine or antitoxin treatment of tetanus. But it offers good support as homeopathic remedies affect the nervous system directly and are known to relieve twitching, jerk, and even convulsions. The homeopathic treatment works to calm inflamed nerves, tension in the arteries, and emotional and physical conditions brought on by anxiety. Some of the homeopathic remedies that can be used for treatment of tetanus are:
- Curare
- Gels
- Physo
- Strych
- Upas
- Aconite
- Belladonna
Acupuncture & Acupressure Treatment of Tetanus
In acupressure treatment of tetanus, the therapist typically manipulates points on the face and jaw to help relieve tetanus symptoms.
Conventional / Allopathic Treatment of Tetanus
Conventional and allopathic Treatment can take several weeks and includes antibiotics to kill the bacteria and shots of antitoxin to neutralize the toxin. It also includes anti-anxiety drugs to manage muscle spasms or barbiturates for sedation. In severe cases, patients are placed on an artificial respirator.
Surgical Treatment of Tetanus
If a tetanus-prone wound is particularly large, a surgical procedure called debridement may be necessary. It involves cleaning an open wound by removing foreign material, such as dirt and manure, as well as any dead tissue. In the case of a tetanus infection, debridement will remove any remaining tetanus bacteria.
Dietary & Herbal Treatment of Tetanus
- Intake of High protein diet
- Intake of Liquid foods
