What should I do if the baby has redness on the face and hands after receiving the pre-vaccination shot?

Patient's question:

When the baby was six months old, after eating a sugar and getting a DTP shot, red spots appeared on the hands and face, similar to adult heat rash. Over the past month, they have repeatedly appeared. What could be the reason? Can the baby get vaccinated and eat sugar next month?

Doctor's answer:

This is an adverse reaction after the injection, and the needle can no longer be administered. It is recommended that you also take the child to the hospital's surgical department for a check-up. If the examination confirms that it is caused by inflammation, then anti-inflammatory medication should be used. This will gradually improve. Alternatively, you could check to see if there is an allergic reaction. Has this situation occurred before? Has the child been feeling unwell recently? It is best to get a clear diagnosis.
