Is it neccessary for taking injection?  any patient who takes injection and moves will die on spot itseemns. is there any other medicine?
Hello, I am Chat Doctor.  I will try to give the best possible answer of your question. It would have been very useful if you provided clinical history of patient and the injection which your doctor is giving. In my view with the provided information I think your doctor has given antidiphtheria serum(ADS) which is used to counteract the effect of diphtheria toxin. As there are chances of getting mild to severe allergic reactions to this injection, it is absolutely necessary that patient remains under observation for initial period. For confirmation of diagnosis you should go for throat swab culture test. I have tried my best to answer you. Take care.
