You should suspect tetanus if a cut or wound is followed by one or more of these symptoms: 1  Stiffness of the neck, jaw, and other muscles, often accompanied by a grotesque, grinning expression. 2  Difficulty swallowing. 3  Irritability. 4  Uncontrollable spasms of the jaw, called lockjaw, and neck muscles.

During this period muscle spasms can last several minutes and may continue for three or four weeks. Other symptoms of tetanus include: 1  a high temperature (fever). 2  sweating. 3  high blood pressure (hypertension). 4  a rapid heartbeat.
