The hard lump on the child's arm after vaccination

Children usually need to get vaccinations due to their age. After the baby gets the vaccination, there will always be a hard nodule on the arm. This is a common reaction after the vaccination, mainly due to incomplete consumption of the local area, plus the relationship with the medicine. Usually parents only need to use a hot towel soaked in water for hot compress, it will disappear soon. If it is more serious, you need to pay attention.

Redness, swelling, nodules, and transient fever are the most common adverse reactions to vaccination, so don't worry.

Suggestions: If your arms are red, swollen and have lumps, you can apply a hot towel a few times. It won’t go away in a moment, it will take time. If the redness and swelling are severe, you can go to the vaccination center (where you get the shot) and ask for some magnesium sulfate. Use a hot towel soaked in magnesium sulfate to apply a hot compress, and it will heal relatively quickly.

Meaning

"Giving a vaccination" means telling someone about possible situations (usually bad situations) in advance so that he can be prepared and not be frightened or at a loss.

Related taboos

It is generally believed that children with the following conditions cannot be vaccinated.

(1) If children are suffering from a cold or fever caused by various diseases, giving them vaccinations at this time will increase their body temperature or induce and aggravate the disease.

(2) Children who are recovering from an infectious disease or have a history of contact with an acute infectious disease but have not completed the quarantine period. If you get a vaccination at this time, it is easy to have adverse reactions or make the original condition worse.

(3) Children with asthma, eczema, urticaria and allergic constitutions are more likely to have allergic reactions after vaccination, especially measles vaccine, diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis combined vaccine and other vaccinations with strong allergens, which are more likely to cause allergic reactions. Children with a history of epilepsy and convulsions are prone to syncope, convulsions, and shock when receiving vaccinations, especially Japanese encephalitis vaccine and diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis combined vaccine. People with severe rickets should not use polio sugar pills.

(4) Children with acute or chronic kidney disease, active pulmonary tuberculosis, severe myelopathy, suppurative skin diseases and suppurative otitis media may experience various adverse reactions after vaccination, which may aggravate the original condition and affect the recovery of the sick child. It must be pointed out that children with congenital heart disease can still receive vaccinations as long as their function is good.

(5) During the vaccination period, if the child is feeling unwell, has symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and severe cough, the vaccination can be temporarily postponed with the doctor's consent, and can be given again after the symptoms improve.

In short, it is not advisable to give children vaccinations when they suffer from the above-mentioned diseases or pathological conditions. However, this is relative. In certain special circumstances, such as when a virulent infectious disease is prevalent and has seriously threatened people's health, it is necessary to consider that the harm of the infectious disease is the primary, while the reaction of vaccination is secondary. The above-mentioned regulations against vaccination should be appropriately relaxed, but this should be decided by the doctor.
