"Doctor, when I was getting the COVID-19 vaccine in the morning, the medical staff repeatedly told me not to drink alcohol after the injection, and not to take a shower for the time being within 24 hours. But I forgot about this. In the afternoon, an old friend came to me and took a drink with him for a few drinks.
I took a shower when I went back in the evening. After lying on the bed, I suddenly thought of this and felt a little panicked. I not only drank alcohol, but even took a shower. I wouldn't have any serious adverse reactions, right?"
This is a question consulted by a person who just drank after getting the vaccine. I guess this question also asked many people's doubts. The doctor repeatedly reminds you not to drink alcohol, but because of forgetting your advice or some irresistible reasons, if you don’t pay attention to drinking alcohol, will it cause the vaccine to be ineffective or cause serious adverse reactions?
In fact, there are two main reasons for not allowing alcohol to be avoided after injecting the new crown vaccine:
One of them, there is a professional term called coupling reaction. After getting the COVID-19 vaccine, such as fever, fatigue, nausea, diarrhea and even loss of appetite may occur. People will also experience some rashes, , fever, nausea, loss of appetite, etc. after drinking alcohol. There is some similarity between these two situations, and this is the coupling reaction.
Therefore, it is not recommended to drink alcohol after being vaccinated because of concern that when encountering these symptoms, you will not be able to tell whether it is caused by side effects of the vaccine or alcohol, which will delay the doctor's diagnosis. Some people may blame the impact of alcohol on the new crown vaccine, which is something scientific researchers do not want to see.
Secondly, alcohol is relatively spicy, and everyone has different physical constitutions. Irritating foods may affect the effectiveness of the vaccine. Therefore, it is not recommended to drink alcohol or eat spicy and irritating foods after getting vaccinated.
What are the adverse consequences of accidentally drinking alcohol after being vaccinated?
After reading the above content, some people already have a clear idea. Experts said that the vaccine developed in China is relatively safe. Even if you forget the doctor's advice and drink alcohol, it will not affect the effectiveness of the vaccine or have a great impact on the body.
Careful people may say that they have not seen that they cannot drink alcohol, eat spicy foods or eggs, etc. on the precautions for vaccines. Indeed, a normal diet generally has no effect.
But this does not mean that you can drink without any scruples. If you just forget it, it is understandable. But I clearly remembered the doctor's advice and insisted on doing the opposite, which was a bit rebellious. Nothing is 100% healthy. If something unbearable happens, the losses will be huge. So it is better to follow the doctor's advice.
For safety reasons, you can drink alcohol normally one week after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. Friendly reminder: Drinking alcohol is harmful to health and should be appropriately used.
Why can’t you take a shower immediately after getting vaccinated?
In addition to drinking, medical staff also recommends that it is best not to take a shower after getting vaccinated. Why is this? The weather is too hot in summer. What should I do if I forget the doctor’s advice and do not pay attention to taking a shower?
is mainly because after vaccination, the vaccination site may experience redness and swelling. At this time, you should be exposed to water to avoid causing infection and other problems. If you keep the injection site dry and clean while taking a bath, you don’t have to worry too much even after washing.
But it is better to avoid taking a bath within 24 hours to avoid these problems.
It doesn’t mean you’re okay after taking a shower, so don’t be lucky if you’re taking a shower.
After problems occur after injecting the vaccine, it is recommended to seek medical treatment in time
Although the side effects of the new crown vaccine are basically within the tolerance range, due to individual differences, some people have no symptoms, but some people will have strong reactions.
Therefore, everyone should pay more attention after vaccination. If there is severe redness, swelling and pain at the injection site, or the fever exceeds 38.5℃ and cannot reduce the fever, or even symptoms such as chest tightness and dyspnea, you should seek medical treatment in time and explain the situation to the doctor.
In short, I still hope that those who meet the conditions will get the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible so that the immune barrier can be formed as soon as possible.
