The time it takes for tetanus to become fatal can vary widely depending on the individual and the severity of the infection. Symptoms typically appear 7 to 10 days after exposure, but they can develop as quickly as a few days or as long as several weeks. Without treatment, tetanus can lead to death within a few weeks due to complications such as respiratory failure. However, with prompt medical intervention, including antitoxins and supportive care, many patients can survive.

What medication used to treat tetanus?

}In the rare cases where a person does develop tetanus, recovery is possible. When the infection is diagnosed and treated early, the recovery period usually takes at least 4 to 6 weeks. People who are infected with tetanus and develop the disease are treated in a hospital, usually in an intensive care unit (ICU). They receive large doses of antibiotics to kill the tetanus bacteria and tetanus antitoxin (a medicine that neutralizes the toxin produced by the bacteria). Other medicines may be needed to control muscle spasms
