Patient's question:
The baby is five months old. Since the day of birth, they have been coughing. After a thorough check-up at the hospital, nothing was found. An old Chinese medicine practitioner said it was due to lung heat cough. They had their first vaccination after the full moon. Can they get vaccinated while still coughing?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the baby has a cold with symptoms such as fever and cough, which are contagious, they cannot continue with vaccinations to avoid adverse interference with the vaccine. If the child does not have a fever or other contagious factors, and only has a simple irritative cough, they can continue with vaccinations as normal. This is the advice for the question "My baby is five months old and has been coughing since the sixth day of birth, what should I do?" I hope it helps you, and wish you health!
