What Causes Pain And Swelling All Over The Body After A Tetanus Injection?

My wife had a tetanus shot a few weeks ago and ever since she s been getting worse and worse with pain and swelling all over. Right now her throat is closing up and has been sore for the longest time getting increasingly worse. She can t swallow, and she s having trouble breathing. She owns an epipen. Should I use it? We keep taking her to the emergency room, but they keep sending her back home in agony. Help us, please.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to `Ask A Doctor` service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.

* As per my clinical knowledge, the narrated symptoms are not in
relation with side effect of tetanus as per general data.

If there was any problem with vaccine dose or content was
problematic, then there can be remote possibility of systemic issue.

* I would like to get you evaluated with the expert intensivist specialist
with a battery of lab tests to arrive at a particular conclusion.

I would like to admire your further doubts anytime.
Take care.
