After giving babies vaccinations, some adverse symptoms will appear, such as nausea and vomiting, fever, local redness and swelling, etc. Many babies will experience arm pain after receiving vaccinations. This situation is troubling for parents. They are afraid that it is caused by some serious situation and will affect the growth and development of their baby. Is this true? Here is an introduction to why a 6-year-old baby has arm pain after vaccination.

After vaccination, redness and swelling will appear at the injection site, and local pain in the arm is normal. It is best to apply hot compress to the baby to relieve the symptoms. Pay attention to hygiene and avoid infection.

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.
