Patient's question:
When a child has a fever, when should they get vaccinated? Can they take medicine? Is surgery necessary? Are there any good methods? Does anyone know?Doctor's answer:
During a fever, it is not recommended to vaccinate children. It is advised to wait for at least two weeks after the fever has subsided before going for vaccination. A child needs time to recover after being sick. Vaccines are essentially live bacteria, and if a child receives a shot when they are not in their best physical condition, the reaction may be stronger. For example, 90% of children who receive the DTP vaccine will develop a fever afterward. Care during a fever is crucial. It is recommended to closely monitor the child's temperature and maintain a light diet. Drinking plenty of water is also important.
