Can babies with colds get vaccinated?

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said my spirits aren't good, affecting my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I always can't sleep at night, sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets serious, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. By the way, 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 given during the illness, it may easily cause adverse reactions such as fever in the baby. It is naturally the 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. Based on the symptoms you mentioned, it is mainly caused by a virus, and the treatment should focus on anti-inflammatory measures. Intravenous penicillin can be used for treatment.
