A shot of hundreds of class II vaccines, must be given to the baby? Expert advice: priority of these 6;
In 2022 this vaccine must be beaten! Instead of 3 vaccines, 8 fewer shots! Grab it at your own expense;
……
In the past year, KTC has written many articles on the science of vaccines. Each comment area was inundated with vaccination questions.
Only a few people are asking, what if you have a fever after the vaccine? After Koda replied, he didn't pay too much attention to it.
Until a mom messaged:

HKUST realized that many parents were afraid to vaccinate their children because they were worried about the reaction after the vaccine.
In fact, vaccines can help children effectively resist diseases, and everyone who can be vaccinated will be vaccinated!
In the unlikely event of a mild or moderate adverse reaction, it means that the vaccine and the immune system are working, so don't panic and respond to the situation according to the situation!
fever
Fever is one of the most common adverse reactions.
It usually occurs within 24 hours of vaccination and the body temperature does not exceed 39 °C.
This mild fever condition, which does not require special treatment, resolves on its own within 1-2 days.
Parents only need to let their children drink more water and maintain a good rest.
If your child's body temperature exceeds 38.5 ° C, but there are no other conditions, you can give your child some antipyretic medicine;
If your child's temperature is above 39°C, or if the fever does not go away repeatedly, go to the hospital immediately!
Local redness, swelling, induration
Some babies with a more sensitive constitution may have a small range of redness and swelling at the injection site after vaccination, and some may also be painful or induration.
The redness and swelling range is less than 2 cm and does not require special treatment.
If the redness and swelling range is more than 2 cm in diameter, or if it does not heal for more than 6 months, it is timely to consult the hospital.
The baby really feels pain, and parents can give the baby an appropriate amount of ibuprofen or acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
Moreover, you can take a bath after inoculation, taking care not to rinse directly with water on the inoculation part, and not to soak in water for a long time.
If the inoculation site gets wet, you can gently dry the water with clean gauze or a cotton swab.
rash
Some live attenuated vaccines may have transient manifestations of mild diseases after vaccination, such as measles vaccination.
Vaccine-induced rashes are much milder than those caused by infectious diseases, and most of them resolve spontaneously within a few days and generally do not require further treatment.
If the baby continues to have high fever, irritability, and persistent rash and aggravated ulceration, it indicates that it is not a vaccine-reactive rash and needs to go to the hospital for further examination to rule out the external infectious rash.
If it is an allergic rash or urticaria, such as occurring within hours to days after vaccination, manifesting as a rash and itching, it is recommended that the hospital see a doctor in time.
diarrhoea
Generally, no special handling is required.
As long as you pay attention to the diarrhea situation, give the baby appropriate water, change the diaper in time, and ensure adequate rest, you can recover in two or three days.
In addition to the above 4 cases, there are also some adverse reactions to specific vaccines, such as getting purpura after starting the measles vaccine that the mother said.
In fact, this situation is very rare, about 100,000 cases of vaccinators, 5 cases appear.
Because the baby's physical fitness is different, there will be some "adverse reactions" more or less after vaccination, and most of them can actually heal themselves.
There are only a few cases that need to be sent to the hospital, and the Department of Science and Technology has also sorted it out for everyone:
Therefore, parents do not have to be too anxious, learn more about the relevant knowledge, and deal with it scientifically.
If you are worried about the adverse reactions of your child after vaccination, Keda recommends that you:
Before vaccination, carefully inform the doctor about the child's health status, whether there is a headache or fever, and what medicine is being taken.
After vaccination, stay on the sidelines for 30 minutes to more intuitively monitor your child's status.
Finally, the University would like to emphasize the following:
Although vaccines may have adverse reactions, in general, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, which is of great significance for the prevention of diseases in babies!
