Patient's question:
Alright, here's the translation, following your instructions:Okay, now the injection site is a bit red, and it's been really noisy these last couple of days. She's been crying a lot, and she's not sleeping well at night either. I heard from others that it takes about a month after getting the smallpox vaccine before the reaction appears. Is that correct? What kind of help I need: Could you please tell me if it's true that it will appear in about a month?
Doctor's answer:
After receiving the BCG vaccine, approximately one month later, there will be pus formation at the injection site followed by crusting. However, the baby will not cry or fuss as a result. The baby may have poor sleep. It is important to consider other potential causes first, such as calcium deficiency, insufficient feeding, or constipation. Poor sleep in children should first be considered a calcium deficiency. In winter, there is no opportunity to get sunlight, making calcium absorption difficult. Calcium supplementation can begin 15 days after birth. Children with calcium deficiency may exhibit symptoms such as poor nighttime sleep, crying, excessive sweating, and bald spots on the back of the head. Long-term calcium deficiency can also lead to rickets symptoms such as a square skull and rib cage flaring.
