Answer #1

Has she gotten the tetanus shot this year? Symptoms would be skin discoloration (red blood spots that begin to look like bruises), fever, loss of appetite, and blood pressure drops

Answer #2

I’ve asked her and she said no, she did when she was younger though I told her that may not help now.. She did felt dizzy and I began to see some spots and I rushed her to the ER with her mom and I was positively right and she did and got treatment immediately.

Answer #3

You did good by bringing her to the ER. Just make sure she gets the tetanus shots and if the metal isn’t needed, then get rid of it

Answer #4

Yeah I suggested that and so did the doctor as well,thank you soo much for answering this! I couldn’t find really that much detail on other sites that quick.
