What should I do if my baby has BCG abscesses?

Some babies need to be injected with BCG vaccine to prevent diseases, but many babies show different symptoms when receiving the BCG vaccine, especially when babies develop symptoms of pustules at the place where the BCG vaccine was given. In this case, timely treatment is needed. So what should be done if babies have BCG pustules? Then let me introduce this issue to you.

Generally, pus will appear in one to two months. After the BCG vaccination, the arms will become festering, and then the festering area will slowly heal. Generally, squeezing it out with your hands may cause infection with other bacteria.

Rehabilitation guidance: It is recommended to let the suppuration heal automatically and slowly form a scab, and pay attention to the re-infection of the suppurated area.

3-4 weeks after BCG vaccination, the vaccination site may become red and swollen, gradually forming small pustules that burst on their own, and some may also experience local lymph node enlargement, which can be treated accordingly.

Guidance and suggestions: Local lymph node enlargement: Hot compress can be used, 3 to 4 times a day, each time for 15 to 20 minutes. Abscess: This is a sterile abscess. After it softens, you can go to the hospital to use a sterilized syringe to extract the pus. Abscess rupture: 10% sulfa ointment or 20% sodium para-aminosalicylate ointment can be applied externally to prevent infection.

According to your description, if your baby develops symptoms of pustules after receiving BCG vaccination, it should be considered a normal situation and a normal reaction. It does not require treatment and you don't have to worry. You should vaccinate your baby in time, feed him properly, strengthen his nutrition, keep him warm, and prevent colds and diseases.

The above is my opinion on this issue. If the baby has the above problems, then you need to pay attention to timely examination to ensure the health of the body and avoid the baby getting sick and causing danger to the patient's body. In particular, it can be well ensured that the above problems do not cause danger to the baby. Finally, I wish the child a speedy recovery.
