What should I do if my child's nose is stuffy after getting the flu vaccine?

Patient's question:

A one-year-old and four-month-old baby got the flu vaccine this morning. Now they have a stuffy nose, runny nose, hiccups, and cough, but no fever. What should I do? Are there any non-medication methods?

Doctor's answer:

Dear consultant,
Today, after the baby received the flu vaccine, they again showed symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, and hiccups, which could be a reaction to the vaccine. Additionally, the baby previously had a mild cold with no obvious symptoms, but after vaccination, the symptoms may have become more apparent.
You can give the baby more water, and after 24 hours, you can administer oral pediatric paracetamol and chuanxindong granules. Drinking more water can also help with applying warm towels to the nose area for cold compresses.
