Can I swim after getting the vaccination?

Every baby will get vaccinations after birth to prevent certain diseases. Vaccinations are of great significance to babies and can avoid many unnecessary harms. There are some precautions when getting vaccinations, such as not eating spicy food during illness, etc. Some parents have questions about whether they can swim after vaccination. Let's introduce whether they can swim after vaccination.

Can babies swim after vaccination?

Babies can go swimming after vaccination, but it is recommended to wait three days after vaccination.

It is not recommended for babies to engage in strenuous exercise right after receiving a vaccination. They should pay attention to rest and should not touch water immediately to avoid inflammation at the injection site. Although swimming may seem peaceful and relaxing, it actually involves a lot of exercise and requires going into water, so it is recommended to wait three days after the injection before going.

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.
