Patient's question:
The baby is one and a half years old. After getting the DTP vaccine this time, he had a fever for two days. Now the fever has subsided, but we noticed that his gums are red and swollen, there is phlegm in his throat, and his voice has become hoarse. He is refusing to eat, drink milk, or drink water. What should we do? Will he recover on his own without going to the hospital? Can we still use anti-inflammatory medication after getting the vaccine? Thank you for your reply!First question supplement: Because he had a fever again last night, we went to the emergency room. The doctor found that his throat was also red and swollen. After a blood test, it was said that there was inflammation, with white blood cells at 13.4 and CRP at 16. The doctor said it wasn’t caused by the vaccine. However, the day we got the shot, we also had a physical examination and blood test, and all the indicators were normal. So, what is the actual situation?
Doctor's answer:
Hello: It is still recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up to identify the cause before starting treatment.
