Patient's question:
Red and swollen for a week. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Don't know how to treat and what kind of assistance is needed: The child was anesthetized with the flu vaccine a week ago, and the face started to turn red. I always thought the child might have a fever because he loves to play, but today I heard from a friend that his child also...Doctor's answer:
Local side effects after receiving the influenza vaccine: Common pain, occasionally redness, swelling, and itching.Systemic side effects: Common fever, fatigue, headache, dizziness, and nausea; occasionally sore throat, muscle pain, cough, abdominal pain, joint pain, abnormal movement (increased/continuously increasing activity), dry mouth, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, allergic reactions, and chest tightness.
Symptoms should be relatively mild, so there's usually nothing to worry about. The adverse reactions to the influenza vaccine mentioned above are primarily mild and mainly occur within 24 hours after vaccination. It is recommended to consult a few precautions before getting vaccinated. Generally, it is advised to wait until fever has fully subsided before vaccination, depending on individual circumstances.
