Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. Is there any side effect to the vaccine for preventing meningitis?Doctor's answer:
Vaccines for anesthetic prevention of meningitis, if a child's immunity is weak, can easily lead to fever. First, give the child more water to enhance metabolism, which is beneficial for fever reduction. Generally, it will recover completely within three days. If the temperature is high but below 37.5°C, you can use fever-reducing medication under the guidance of a doctor or use physical cooling methods. You can apply alcohol to the palms, soles of the feet, and armpits to help reduce fever. Pay close attention to monitoring the baby's condition.
