Patient's question:
The child is not eating or sleeping and has been crying for 2 days. There was a reaction after getting vaccinated. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Took HUTONG, for fever reduction. How would you like to assist: Is the vaccine effective...Doctor's answer:
After getting vaccinated, some people may experience a high fever; this is a normal reaction. Generally, the fever is around 38°C. Symptoms after a child gets vaccinated: high fever. Mild fever is between 37-37.5°C, moderate fever is between 37.6-38.5°C, and a fever above 39°C is considered severe. Additionally, some babies may experience headaches, dizziness, weakness, chills, nausea, dry cough, abdominal pain, or vomiting. These symptoms usually subside within 24 hours and rarely last more than 3 days. If the fever is severe, fever-reducing medication can be taken. Once the temperature returns to normal, other symptoms should also disappear. If the low-grade fever persists or other abnormalities occur, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.Let the child rest well and avoid excessive running or jumping; keep the injection site clean and avoid scratching it with hands; avoid consuming foods; drink plenty of warm water and closely monitor the child's adverse reactions.
When getting vaccinated, pay attention to the following:
1. Before vaccination, give the child a bath and change into clean clothes.
2. Inform the doctor about the child's health condition.
3. After vaccination, the child should rest for 15-30 minutes at the vaccination site. If a high fever or other symptoms reappear after taking medication, seek medical attention promptly.
4. After returning home, avoid strenuous exercise and provide careful care for the child. Monitor closely, drink plenty of warm water, and if the child has mild fever, lack of energy, poor appetite, or crying, it usually improves within 1-2 days. If symptoms worsen, seek medical attention immediately.
