After winter enters the baby, the baby is prone to illness. Recently, parents often ask in the background whether they can get vaccinated when they are sick or that they can get fever after being vaccinated. Here are some of the ones that everyone has asked more questions to reply to.
Q: Can I get vaccinated after catching a cold
Many parents will feel that sick babies will have greater side effects on the vaccine. In fact, studies have found that if you have a mild cold, it will not affect it. Of course, if your baby has a high fever of 39 degrees and is accompanied by ear infection, it is definitely not suitable for vaccination. The vaccine itself can also have side effects, such as fever, rashes, redness and swelling at the vaccination site. But these reactions are not common, and it is normal even if they occur. Parents don’t have to panic too much.
Q: Why do you have fever after vaccination
Vaccination is a process of self-infection. Because vaccines are to artificially attenuate and inactivate pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses and their metabolites to the body by injecting or oral administration. The pathogenic microorganisms entering the body are not enough to cause infection in the baby. The baby will not get influenza because of the flu vaccine, nor will he get whooping cough because of the whooping cough vaccine. Even if some vaccines are bacteria with very low activity (such as measles ), the chance of causing diseases is very, very low, and these are all clinically verified on a large scale. Instead, the entry of these pathogenic microorganisms will attack the baby's immune system, forcing the immune system to produce antibodies, so that the baby will be able to resist these infectious diseases. As mentioned above, fever is a side effect of the vaccine, and it is not common, and not all treasures will have fever after being vaccinated.
Q: You need to get so many vaccines under one year old, can’t you get one shot of each type? Has the baby's body accepted it?
Many vaccines are not enough to be given once, and some require several vaccinations to give sufficient immune protection (for example, if acellular whooping cough is required three times within one year of one year). Some need to be vaccinated every year to deal with changing bacteria (for example, influenza vaccines need to be vaccinated before the start of the flu season every year). Some babies still need to be vaccinated when they become adults, because some vaccines will gradually weaken over time (for example, if a cell-free whooping cough is still needed once at the age of 4 to 6). In life, there are actually countless bacteria/viruses that exercise the baby's immune system every day. From bacteria on the ground (she ate the cookies that fell on the ground), to viruses in food, dust or cold viruses that spread in the air, healthy babies can safely deal with these challenges. Compared to these, the bacteria in the vaccine appear very insignificant, and don’t forget that these insignificant bacteria can make the baby’s immune system stronger.
Q: What kind of situation does normal fever occur?
develops fever within 24 hours after the baby is vaccinated, and there are no other symptoms except fever. The fever temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees, and the fever time is very short, generally not exceeding forty-eight hours. At this time, try to use physical cooling methods. You can use warm water to scrub your baby's body. If conditions permit, you can take a warm water bath. In addition to fever, the baby may also experience loss of appetite, drowsiness, irritability, and redness and swelling of the vaccination area.
Q: What does it look like after abnormal vaccines? what to do?
After vaccination, the fever temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, the fever time exceeds forty-eight hours, or it only starts to develop fever two days after vaccination. The baby has other discomfort symptoms other than fever, such as diarrhea, cough, vomiting, etc. When the above situations occur, parents should take their baby to the hospital for treatment in time and take treatment as directed by the doctor.
