Can babies with colds get vaccinated?

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night, and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. Can babies with colds get vaccinated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally speaking, it is recommended to vaccinate the baby three to five days after recovery from illness. However, if vaccination is administered during the illness, it may easily cause adverse reactions such as fever in the baby. Of course, it is best to vaccinate on time, but if delayed due to special circumstances, the impact is not significant. Wait until the baby is healthy before taking him for vaccination. According to the symptoms you mentioned, it is mainly caused by a virus, and treatment should focus on anti-inflammatory measures. Intravenous administration of penicillin can be considered for treatment.
