Patient's question:
Yesterday morning, after getting the vaccine, I started feeling feverish in the afternoon, and my fever broke at 4 a.m. In the morning, around 7 or 8 a.m., I couldn't tolerate any touch on my back and cried nonstop.What kind of help do I need: Is this a reaction to the vaccine?
Doctor's answer:
1. Common adverse reactions (Adverse reactions include:1) Redness, swelling, pain, and tenderness may reappear at the anesthetized site.
2) Systemic reactions may include low-grade fever, crying, etc. These usually resolve on their own without intervention.
2. Rare adverse reactions
1) Irritability, loss of appetite, nausea, fatigue, etc.
2) Severe fever reactions: Symptomatic treatment should be provided to prevent high fever convulsions.
3) Localized lump. It typically resolves within 1-2 months. Severe cases may be accompanied by lymphangitis or lymphadenitis, requiring prompt follow-up.
