Diphtheria, tetanus and polio symptoms, treatment and prevention
The DTP booster helps protect against three serious infections: diphtheria, tetanus and polio. It is often reviewed before travel or when a booster is due.
Treatment overview
Suspected diphtheria, tetanus or polio needs urgent hospital assessment.
Prevention planning
Keeping boosters up to date reduces risk, especially before travel to areas where these infections may still occur.
What the condition is expand_more
- Diphtheria can affect the throat and breathing, tetanus can enter through wounds and affect nerves and muscles, and polio can affect the nervous system.
Symptoms patients often ask about expand_more
- Diphtheria can cause sore throat, fever, swollen glands and breathing or swallowing problems.
- Tetanus can cause jaw stiffness, painful muscle spasms and difficulty swallowing or breathing.
- Polio may cause fever, headache, vomiting, neck stiffness or, rarely, weakness and paralysis.
Treatment and reassurance expand_more
- Suspected diphtheria, tetanus or polio needs urgent hospital assessment.
- Treatment may involve antitoxin, antibiotics, wound care, breathing support or specialist care depending on the infection.

Before your vaccine appointment expand_more
