Baby has a cough but no fever, can they receive the vaccine?

Patient's question:

Two months ago, it was time to get the second dose of polio vaccine and the first dose of DTP vaccine. However, at the two-month mark, I had a cough with phlegm. Later, after taking medication, the phlegm stopped, but I still had a slight cough in the morning or when crying, though only a few times a day. Even the first dose of polio vaccine hasn't been administered yet. Can I get the polio vaccine now?

Doctor's answer:

In this case, the child has residual respiratory inflammation, which is often caused by incomplete treatment of previous colds. Anesthesia prevention injections can be administered. However, after receiving anesthesia prevention injections, the child may experience a weakened immune system. At this time, it is important to take good care of the child and minimize the risk of contact with infectious diseases. Drink plenty of water and get adequate rest. Parents who have a cold should avoid close contact with the child. The above advice is for the question "Can a baby with a slight cough but no fever receive vaccinations?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
