Patient's question:
My child is 7 years old. They received the MMR and hepatitis A vaccinations on the 21st. Tonight, they suddenly developed a fever with no other symptoms. Their temperature is 38.9°C. How should I treat this?Doctor's answer:
After children receive vaccinations, it is common for them to experience redness, swelling, heat, pain, and fever at the injection site, as well as symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. These can be treated symptomatically, so there is no need to worry. It is important to closely monitor temperature changes. Currently, the temperature is 38.9°C, and antipyretic medication should be taken. Drinking plenty of plain water is also recommended.In addition to timely treatment for hepatitis A, patients should pay attention to dietary aspects, such as eating a light diet and avoiding spicy foods. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for diagnosis to ensure a good treatment outcome.
