What Causes Jaw Pain,stiffness And Swelling In Face After A Tetanus Shot?
had a tetanus diptheria vaccination yesterday - jaw pain, stiffness can hardly open jaw now! dizzy, face swelling. was the tetanus vaccine too strong? too much for my body to handle? or am i reacting to one of the ingredients in the vaccine? I also had a hep a and b vaccine - what do you think is happening? when will i be able to go work - when will it make its way out of my body?
