Redness around the injection site

Giving babies vaccinations is an extremely important thing. It has many benefits for the baby's body, such as preventing the occurrence of infectious diseases such as chickenpox and hepatitis B, and it can also effectively improve the baby's physique. Many babies will have redness around the needle hole after getting a vaccination. This situation is quite troubling for parents. So let's take a closer look at what causes redness around the needle hole after getting a vaccination.

After the baby has received a vaccination, the area around the needle hole is a little red, which means that the child is inflamed. When you bathe your child, do not let water get into his wound. You can go to the pharmacy to buy some anti-inflammatory and disinfectant medicine and rub the baby to avoid inflammation.

What should I pay attention to after my baby gets vaccinated?

1. Take adequate rest

Do not do strenuous exercise after vaccination. Proper rest is conducive to the formation of antibodies.

2. In terms of diet

Some inappropriate practices are popular among the people, such as feeding babies "irritating foods" such as small fish, shrimp or coriander, in the hope that the vaccines will "work" out and achieve therapeutic effects. Other parents advocate "dietary restrictions", saying their children cannot eat this or that, for fear that it will interfere with the effectiveness of the vaccination. But it is best not to eat spicy food and not to add other burdens to the baby's stomach.

3. Don’t take a shower

Don't take a shower on the day after vaccination to be careful of infection.

4. Don’t panic if you experience minor adverse reactions

Some babies may experience mild adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting, and dizziness after vaccination. If the symptoms are not serious, you can observe them first and don't worry. If the symptoms are more serious, you should go to the hospital for a doctor's diagnosis.
