Patient's question:
Five-month-old baby got vaccinated five days ago. Since yesterday, he has started coughing with phlegm but is in good spirits. Yesterday, his condition worsened slightly, so he went to the pharmacy to get patches for his navel, neck, and throat. He also picked up some lung clearing and blood cooling medicine. The doctor said he cannot take anti-inflammatory medication because he has just been vaccinated. Today, he got another round of patches. In the morning, his temperature was 37°C, and his spirits were still relatively good, though he was clearly not doing well. By 7 PM, his temperature had risen to 37.7°C, so he got a fever-reducing patch for his forehead.Doctor's answer:
A five-month-old baby developed cough again after vaccination, with phlegm and a slight fever. The baby is in good spirits. Clear lung and phlegm-reducing medicine has been given to the child. If the temperature does not exceed 38.5°C, do not use fever-reducing medication. The child should be given plenty of fluids and eat light food. If the child's spirits are not good, go to the hospital for a thorough examination and treatment. The above advice is for the question "A five-month-old baby coughed yesterday after getting vaccinated yesterday, with phlegm but in good spirits." It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
