What should children pay attention to when getting vaccinations

Vaccination is a way to prevent diseases. Vaccinations are given at different times to prevent different diseases, because children are a vulnerable group. Therefore, children usually need to get various vaccinations, but vaccinations may also cause some adverse reactions. Let us now understand what we should pay attention to when children get vaccinations.

Vaccines are given to prevent diseases and most of them are derived from the corresponding pathogens. Once the vaccine interacts with the body's immune system in the body, it may cause various adverse reactions. In addition to the above reasons, low fever in babies may also be caused by infection, resulting in the above symptoms. About 3%-5% of babies (mainly children under 2 years old) may experience reactions 5-12 days after vaccination.

The systemic reactions of babies after vaccination include fever and general discomfort. The child's fever temperature is generally below 38.5℃ and lasts for 1-2 days. At this time, the baby's body's ability to resist disease (general germs) will decrease. If the baby is not fed more water and is not allowed to rest more, it will develop into a fever and cold caused by infection.

For these discomforts, parents should pay close attention to the systemic reactions and body temperature of their vaccinated children. If your baby has a low fever, be sure to give him plenty of water and remember one principle: the amount of urine should be at least the same or more than usual. The baby's diaper should be changed in time to ensure adequate rest. If the fever worsens or the low-grade fever persists for more than 3 days without improvement, you should use antipyretics under the guidance of a doctor, or take your baby to the hospital for treatment in time. Some children will have scattered "rashes" while having fever. Generally speaking, these "rashes" do not require treatment and will disappear on their own after a certain period of time.

After children receive vaccinations, there will be some negative effects. Some children have special physiques and are more sensitive, so their reactions will be stronger. These are unavoidable. When this phenomenon continues into a long-term vicious cycle and becomes more serious, certain treatments should be adopted.
