Patient's question:
My younger brother is 5 years old. After getting the MMR vaccine, he experienced leg weakness. Is this leg weakness related to the MMR vaccine? If not, what are the common causes of leg weakness? What should be done for treatment at this time? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
After vaccination, if symptoms of leg weakness occur, it should be considered as a possible side effect of the vaccination. This is generally considered normal. If there are no symptoms of high fever, there is no need to worry. Treatment is usually not required. It is important to maintain a positive attitude, pay attention to monitoring, provide the baby with a balanced diet, add appropriate complementary foods, enhance nutrition, and improve immunity to prevent colds. It is recommended to continue observing closely.
