Symptom #8: Fever
Tetanus is a serious and life-threatening condition which should be recognized quickly. Once it is diagnosed and the treatment starts it will take weeks and usually even months to fully recover, making it a long-term condition which requires a lot of treatment.
Fever is another common symptom of tetanus, which is usually mild and occurs after the infection. Chills are also possible, as well as other signs and symptoms associated with fever such as sweating, increased heart rate, a general ill feeling, and increased blood pressure, among others. The severity of the signs and symptoms, including the severity of fever will greatly depend on the location of the wound.
