Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and hasn't been eating much. What should be done if the baby has redness and fever at the vaccination site?Doctor's answer:
Hello, in your current situation, it is enough to prevent infection. You can apply some gentian violet or tincture. The diet should be light, avoid spicy and irritating foods, drink more water, and get more sun. Before feeding, test the temperature of the milk and the size of the nipple. Hold the baby and place them at a 45-degree angle in front of your chest, supporting their head and neck with one arm, while holding the bottle with the other. Insert the nipple into the baby's mouth, ensuring the entire nipple is placed above the tongue. When feeding, make sure the bottle is filled with milk to avoid the baby inhaling too much air.
