Tetanus attacks can cause back pain. The main symptoms of tetanus are convulsions, impaired consciousness, and frothing at the mouth. If the attacks continue, not only will there be back pain, but also pain in the limbs, and severe cases may lead to fractures. Therefore, when tetanus occurs, the patient should be taken to the hospital immediately for emergency treatment. Sedatives should be administered, and if necessary, anesthesia should be used to control the symptoms and reduce complications. Attention should also be paid to keeping the airway clear to minimize the occurrence of asphyxiation. If necessary, tracheal intubation and ventilator treatment should be applied.
