Patient's question:
The baby started to have a fever after getting vaccinated. It has been a few days now. The nose occasionally bleeds. What is going on?Doctor's answer:
Some vaccinations may cause a fever, but it is also possible that the baby is infected. It is recommended to drink more water, use physical cooling methods such as warm water bathing. If the fever still does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. Diluted alcohol can also be used to wipe the forehead for physical cooling. Generally, it will recover within 2 days. Nosebleeds may be caused by dryness leading to the rupture of capillaries in the baby's nasal cavity. If it is only one nostril, there is no need to be nervous; it can be stopped by applying pressure.
