Patient's question:
Will the baby have an allergic reaction after getting a shot?Doctor's answer:
Hello, after children receive vaccinations, the majority do not have any reaction or only have very mild ones. For example, redness, swelling, heat, pain, or enlarged local lymph nodes may occur at the injection site, or even symptoms like fever, decreased appetite, vomiting, or abdominal pain. Generally, no treatment is needed; just make sure the child drinks plenty of water and gets adequate rest, and these reactions will usually disappear within 1 to 2 days.After vaccination, it is best not to bathe the child for the time being. Symptomatic treatment can be provided, such as physical cooling or taking antiallergic medication, etc. However, if the reaction is severe, such as persistent high fever, purulent infection at the injection site, or poor mental state with no appetite, it is important to seek medical attention.
