How to know if i have tetanus or something else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a doctor ASAP: If you have an infected wound and feel spasm and twitches in the area it will progress pretty rapid. The muscles become very tense and the jaw locks(trismus). The spasm could be so tense that can break the bones. It's a medical emergency and you can not wait and see.
