Can babies get injections when they have a fever?

Patient's question:

A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head, can roll over, has a normal appetite, and shows no significant abnormalities, but sometimes they shake. Can the baby get a shot if they have a fever?

Doctor's answer:

First, you can physically reduce the fever for the child, such as giving them a warm bath or using warm water to wipe their body. For colds and fever, you can use fever-reducing patches for treatment. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up to identify the cause of the fever and receive timely treatment to prevent the condition from worsening. There may be a case of calcium deficiency, so a health check-up should be conducted to assess the development of the child's bones. Appropriate tests should also be done. If it is indeed confirmed that there is a calcium deficiency, calcium supplements and fish oil should be taken.
