What to do if your baby cries after getting a vaccination

It is normal for babies to cry after receiving a vaccination. According to medical surveys, many children cry after receiving an injection. However, vaccinations are necessary to prevent various diseases. All medicines will have certain side effects. Let us now understand what to do if the baby cries after vaccination.

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.

Getting a vaccination will be uncomfortable, and it is normal for babies to cry. Some babies may even have a fever if they have a strong reaction. This is because vaccinations actually involve injecting bacteria into the body, and then allowing the baby to develop resistance to the bacteria. So this process will definitely be uncomfortable, and it will be difficult to care for the baby. It will be fine after two days.

The above is the solution to the problem of babies crying after getting vaccinations. When getting vaccinations, the needle irritates our skin and the body will feel pain, not to mention children, whose skin is more fragile, so it is natural for them to feel pain. In order to reduce the pain, certain measures can be taken to try to provide the baby with a more stable environment.
