Baby's reaction after DPT vaccination

The baby's physical condition has always been a concern for parents. Children need to receive a lot of vaccines from birth, and these vaccines need to be injected on time, so parents must remember the injection time of these vaccines. Some babies will still have some abnormal conditions when injected with diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus. Next, we will introduce to you in detail the baby's reaction after the diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus injection.

1. Neuritis: It usually occurs 5-7 days or two weeks after vaccination, or even longer, and is manifested by limb numbness, pain, weakened or disappeared tendon reflexes. In severe cases, symptoms such as muscle atrophy and paralysis may occur. Facial nerve paralysis and crooked corners of the mouth often occur.

2. Encephalopathy: It usually occurs within 3 days after vaccination, with symptoms such as convulsions, spasms, convulsions, coma or abnormal howling, but most patients can recover. Very few patients may have permanent damage, such as limb muscle atrophy and paralysis, mental retardation or epileptic seizures.

3. Allergic encephalomyelitis: It usually occurs 1-4 weeks after vaccination, with an average of about 10 days. Symptoms include sudden onset of symptoms, soreness of the limbs, numbness of the hands and feet, and may be accompanied by fever, irritability, drowsiness, vomiting, convulsions, and later reflex changes, hemiplegia, and cranial nerve paralysis. If the spinal cord is damaged, limb paralysis will occur, and some may have symptoms of meningeal irritation such as coma. The disease progresses rapidly in most patients, and gradually improves after the acute phase, but some individuals may have sequelae.

Anaphylactic shock

Within a few minutes or an hour after vaccination, a person may suddenly develop pale complexion, sweat profusely, have cold limbs, low blood pressure, dizziness, headache, difficulty breathing, or even fainting or cyanosis. If not treated in time, this may lead to death.

The above content is about the baby's reaction after receiving the DPT vaccine. Because each baby's physical condition is different, the situation after the final vaccination is also different. Therefore, if the baby has some adverse reactions, you need to go to the hospital for examination in time, because vaccine reactions are sometimes more dangerous for babies.
