Patient's question:
Will the baby have an allergic reaction after getting a shot?Doctor's answer:
Hello, after the child receives vaccination, the majority do not have any reaction or have very mild ones. For example, redness, swelling, heat, pain, or enlargement of local lymph nodes may occur at the injection site, or even symptoms such as fever, reduced appetite, vomiting, or abdominal pain. Generally, no treatment is needed—just make sure the child drinks plenty of water and gets adequate rest, and these reactions will usually disappear within 1 to 2 days.Avoid bathing the child for a while after vaccination. Symptomatic treatment can be provided, such as physical cooling or taking antiallergic medication. However, if the reaction is severe, such as persistent high fever, purulent infection at the injection site, or poor and lack of appetite, it is important to seek medical attention.
