Tetanus-more swelling on right sided jaw

2022-10-07 17:17:26
I got minor scratch 8 days back, but from past 2 3 days I am having discomfort in jaw but have more right sided jaw swelling. I can open my mouth fully with no pain except for swelling near ear and jaw joint(right sided) and less swelling on left side. I took TT vaccine in 40 hours. I visited a doc and he ruled it as tonsillolith(visible tonsil stones), but I have no swelling of lymph node or sore throat. Can swelling be because of tonsillolith or it might be tetanus? Kindly help.

you need physical examination and attention, that can confirm the diagnosis,  though it doesn't look like Tetanus.
