Patient's question:
I was wondering if it's okay to give my baby Nimesulide Granules since he has a fever after getting bitten by a dog yesterday (but it didn't bleed) and got the rabies vaccine today.Doctor's answer:
Problem Analysis: Hello, it is not recommended to use the fever reducer Nimesulide first. The rabies vaccine involves administering a small amount of the rabies virus into the body. After the virus is injected, the corresponding rabies antibodies will be produced. When the body encounters the virus again, it will have a certain level of immunity, which is the principle of vaccination. After vaccination, a slight fever may occur due to the virus being injected, which is a normal phenomenon. Generally, a low-grade fever may appear within two days, and the body temperature will naturally return to normal afterward. If there is a low-grade fever, no special treatment is required. If the temperature rises, symptomatic oral fever reducers can be administered promptly. During this period, it is also important to avoid and , and to avoid strenuous exercise.
