Patient's question:
The child received the measles vaccine on the 8th. On the 15th, they had a fever, reaching a high of 38.5°C. There were small red spots on their body, but in very small quantities. They had no other symptoms, were not in good spirits, but could still eat. The next day, they went to the hospital. The doctor listened to their trachea and said it was wheezing. Blood tests showed high white blood cell count, suggesting a possible bacterial infection. They were given an IV drip. By the afternoon of the same day, the fever had subsided, and their spirits improved. I am now wondering if this is a normal reaction to the measles vaccine or if the fever was truly caused by a bacterial infection.Doctor's answer:
The baby has symptoms of fever, rashes, poor appetite, and elevated white blood cells, which may indicate acute upper respiratory tract infection. It is caused by a bacterial infection, not a reaction to the vaccine. It is recommended to drink more water, avoid getting cold, get more sun exposure, and have a diversified diet. You can take Cefixime Granules and Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid, and use Xianlin Antipyretic for treatment. This is the advice for the question "What causes fever in a 10-month-old baby?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
