If this is first pregnancy take inj tt 6, 7, 8th month of pregnancy. If its 2nd / 3rd and conceived within 5 years of 1st preg/ completed course of tetanus toxoid, take inj tt, 7, 8th month only.

Was the wound deep? If it's just superficial and scissor was not very unclean then chance of tetanus is very less even otherwise since you have been immunised already with tt 3 months back there is no role for it now.

Hi. I understand your concerns. For chronic sinusitis regular steam inhalation and intranasal corticosteroid will give you relief. see a pulmonologist /allergist for the same. For dog bite since it was a stray dog and you had blood after bite complete schedule of vaccine along with anti rabies immunoglobulin is recommended. See a doctor for the same and also try to observe dog for any symptoms. Hope your questions were answered. Thanks.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
By taking two doses of tetanus toxoid at a gap of one month you are on the right track. Get your third dose after 6 months and then you are immunized for 5 years.

Two doses are administered at least 4 weeks apart, and the third dose is given 6-12 months after the second dose.

Dosage is calculated on the basis of patient's weight, T4 & TSH values. It is better to begin with 50 mcg per day, then test TSH after 6 weeks and lf level is more than 3 to 4 mU/L then dose has to be increased. If you have any doubts please come back, thanks.

Get hba1c done for average values.

Another T.T. Is given to prevent from tetnus for a longer period even if you get injury in that period. However the 2nd dose is usually given 4-6 weaks after and the third dose after 6-8 months.

Yes you require to take inj TT again, irrespective of the size of the wound or presence of rust etc., The previous injections protection is over.
