Is it harmful to the baby if he is vaccinated when he has a cold?

When babies reach a certain age, they need to be vaccinated to avoid certain diseases, but at the same time, their bodies are not fully developed and their resistance is relatively weaker than that of adults, so they are more susceptible to influenza. So if by chance, your baby is infected with the flu when he needs to be vaccinated, will it be harmful to his body? I can tell you readers that the answer is no. Don't neglect to vaccinate your baby at this time.

No one is urging you to get vaccinated, so parents don’t need to rush to get vaccinated. This article talks about the dangers of vaccinating babies for mild colds and whether babies need to go to the hospital for mild colds?

The dangers of vaccination for mild colds

Aggravate the condition.

Most of the vaccines children receive are live attenuated vaccines. Doctors inject the vaccines into the body, causing the body's immune system to produce specific antibodies to protect the body. When a baby has a mild cold, his immunity is relatively poor. At this time, certain vaccines may aggravate the condition or induce adverse reactions.

Don't take your child to the hospital if he has a mild cold

First, when a child is sick, he or she has to go to a big hospital and have blood drawn or various tests done. Putting aside the high medical expenses, the child suffers greatly! Listening to the children crying while having their blood drawn, I burst into tears. I believe many mothers feel as reluctant as I do!

Second, large hospitals prescribe a lot of medicines, and most of them are antibiotics, such as cephalexin. At first, after taking the medicine, the cold might be cured in a few days, and I was secretly happy! But from now on, if I don’t take antibiotics like cephalexin every time I catch a cold, the cold will never be cured, and the dosage will have to be higher and higher! Why is this? I believe everyone knows that this means the baby has developed drug resistance in his body!

Third, in order for children to recover quickly, doctors in the hospital will generally recommend that we give them injections, and we all know that injections are undoubtedly giving children antibiotics! Moreover, some babies are relatively small and can only have indwelling needles for injections. When the children feel uncomfortable, they like to have the needles pulled out. Adults have to watch them day and night, which not only exhausts their energy, but if they are not careful, the needles will be pulled out by the children and there will be blood everywhere! It's horrible!

What else can I do if my child has a mild cold and doesn’t go to the hospital?

Mild colds can be treated through pediatric massage or Chinese medicine, or by taking some Chinese patent medicine. These methods are slower in effect but have fewer side effects on children!

Even though your baby only has a mild cold and his spirit and appetite are normal, vaccinating him at this time will only make his cold worse, so you must wait until your baby's cold is completely recovered before vaccinating him. It is not recommended to go to the hospital when the baby has a mild cold. It is better to see a Chinese medicine doctor. With some Chinese medicine and massage, the baby's cold will recover quickly.
