The baby just got the hepatitis B vaccination. Why is the wound suppurating? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Your child needs to receive the BCG vaccination. The suppurative reaction caused by the BCG vaccination is a normal occurrence. If the reaction is due to the hepatitis B vaccine, it indicates an infection and inflammation.Advice: Contact the doctor who administered the vaccination to your child. Clarify what vaccine was injected and ask the doctor to examine your child. If the abnormal reaction is due to the vaccination, it will require anti-infection treatment.
