Patient's question:
The baby is five and a half months old. On Friday, they received the triple vaccine. In the afternoon of the third day, they had a fever of 37.7°C. By the third day, they were better. Today, they have a slightly high fever again, and their stomach isn't feeling well. They aren't having bowel movements, and the stool is grayish with bubbles. Besides the smell, they have bowel movements several times a day, but each time, only a little comes out. They are also crying and even cry during naps. They have one tooth coming in now, and their throat is also hoarse. What could be wrong? What should the baby do now?Doctor's answer:
After the baby receives the DTP vaccine, they may experience symptoms such as restlessness, reluctance to eat dinner, high fever, and crying.Advice: The baby should be given plenty of water, and a warm towel should be applied to the area where the medicine was administered. When taking a bath, it is best to avoid the area where the medicine was given. After the bath, use disinfectant to sterilize the area where the medicine was applied. Some babies may develop a hard lump or swelling at the injection site after receiving the DTP vaccine. Applying a warm towel for a few minutes can help reduce swelling and completely eliminate the lump. Some babies may also experience prolonged high fever, in which case they should be taken to a large hospital for examination.
