Patient's question:
The baby had a fever after receiving the triple vaccine and pneumonia vaccine, and then had seizures every night at 1:00 AM, occurring once every night for a total of three times. In the second month, after receiving the same vaccine again, they had seizures four times in one night. What should be done about the epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
This is an extremely rare occurrence. Vaccines work by inducing the body's immune system through vaccine preparations, enabling the body to develop resistance. Vaccines are, after all, biological products, which may cause some individuals to experience temporary fever or rash, but they are generally safe. If a baby is unwell, administering a vaccine can easily overlap symptoms with the existing condition, and sometimes it may even worsen the illness. Therefore, it is advisable to postpone vaccination during periods of discomfort. On the other hand, vaccinating the baby on schedule not only does no harm but also strengthens their resistance to infectious diseases. Before each vaccination, it is important to inform the doctor about the baby's condition in detail, and after the vaccination, wait for 20 minutes for observation before leaving.
