Tetanus

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Go to the doctor's / hospital now! Tetanus is deadly. I got a cut that potentially was turning to tetanus, I went to the hospital about 3-4 days later and had it cleaned and a shot. Ended up with a nice fever and mild tetanus symptoms including a slight devils smile! I was a big fat pusspuss when getting my jab however the lady doing it was a trainee and it was the least painful jab I've ever had. Granted this was all in Thailand. But yeah, go to the bloody doctors / hospital now!!!


Long story short. You will die without treatment. Go sort it out now.

^ this, better be quick and get it cleaned and get a shot and further treatment within hours since you already waited more than 48 hours.

If you're infected and too late you're in serious trouble.

Adding to what the others said - go get medical attention NOW. Like this afternoon. Don't wait, this could be life-threatening. Just do it even if you're not sure.
