Patient's question:
When I received the triple vaccine, sweat dripped from my head 30 minutes later, but I didn't have a high fever. The doctor told me to go home and carefully monitor my temperature. Up to now, I haven't had a high fever, but I sweat profusely even with slight movement. Whether it's day or night, even during a nap, my pillow gets completely soaked.What kind of help I need: What could be the cause? Is it related to the vaccine? Before taking any medication, I never sweated. How should I treat this? What should I check at the hospital?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, children understand that after vaccination, most of them have no or only very mild reactions. For example, redness, swelling, heat, pain, or local lymph node enlargement may reappear at the anesthetized site, or symptoms such as fever, decreased appetite, nausea, or abdominal pain may occur again. Generally, treatment is not required. Just make sure the child drinks more hot water and pays attention to getting proper rest, and these reactions will subside after 1 to 2 days. After vaccination, avoid giving the child a bath for the time being. Symptomatic treatment can address many symptoms, such as physical cooling, taking antiallergic medication, and so on.
