Patient's question:
The child received an anesthetic B-type influenza vaccine on October 30. On November 3, they began to have a fever, reaching a high of 38.5°C and a maximum of 39.5°C for three days. Acetaminophen and ibuprofen were used to reduce the fever, after which their mental state improved. There was mild nasal discharge and redness and swelling in the throat. Today, they went to the hospital for a thorough examination (attached is the examination report). The doctor recommended hospitalization for intravenous fluids. Is hospitalization necessary? Can oral antibiotics be used? Mycoplasma pneumoniae was negative.Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms you described, your child has experienced adverse reactions to vaccination, which may include fever, redness and swelling at the vaccination site, and symptoms such as general fatigue. Your child's condition requires active medication to address the symptoms. I recommend that your child rest and drink more water. Given the current situation, it is best to receive intravenous antiviral and anti-inflammatory treatment. Fever reduction is crucial, and medication granules can be taken to manage the fever. Temporary hospitalization may not be necessary. Wishing your child a speedy recovery.
