Antibiotics
Antibiotics can be an effective way to kill C.tetani, the bacteria that cause tetanus. Similar to antitoxin, it would be much more effective if you detect the condition early and take antibiotics when bacteria do not produce many toxins in your body. Keep in mind that those drugs are only helpful for mild to moderate cases. When the problem becomes severe, antibiotics might be quite useless, and all possible side effects would outweigh potential health benefits. Metronidazole is the most common antibiotic option. You will be injected around 500 mg every 6 to 8 hours. The treatment would last 7 to 10 days. [11]
