Patient's question:
After the child received the vaccine, the temperature in the armpit was 38.6 degrees Celsius on the third night, and physical cooling methods were used. On the morning of the third day, the child's armpit temperature was 38.3 degrees Celsius, with a slight fever in the abdomen, accompanied by mild cough and runny nose. Is it a cold or a reaction after vaccination? What kind of medicine should be taken? How to go to the hospital for a thorough examination and treatment?Doctor's answer:
Some babies may experience low-grade fever on the night of vaccination or 1-2 days later, sometimes even developing into fever or a cold. This is an adverse reaction as the vaccine interacts with the body's immune system. The feverish temperature is usually below 38.5°C and lasts for 1-2 days. The baby's disease resistance will improve, so it's important to give them plenty of fluids and ensure they get adequate rest. If the temperature is below 38.5°C, fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the fever persists or other symptoms appear, it's necessary to seek medical attention promptly.
