Patient's question:
Age: One yearPrevious treatment history and effectiveness: Could it be that the recent pneumonia didn't recover well?
What kind of assistance is needed: How do I confirm why she is having a high fever...
Doctor's answer:
After the anesthesia for the vaccine, the baby may experience a possible recurrence of symptoms such as fever, rash, and nausea/vomiting. However, these reactions are generally mild and brief, and proper rest can help them recover. Severe cases are rare!Recommendation: It is recommended that the hospital conduct a thorough examination to identify the issue. Solutions can be tailored based on specific circumstances. If high fever occurs, cold towels can be applied to the forehead or fever-reducing medication can be taken. Generally, once the body temperature returns to normal, other symptoms will subside on their own. If any situation arises that parents are unable to handle, the baby should be taken to the hospital for follow-up treatment.
How high did your baby's fever reach? If it is not below 38.5°C, there is no need to give fever-reducing medication. It usually recovers on its own.
