What are the adverse reactions to measles vaccination in children?

Parents who take their children to get the measles vaccine for the first time will inevitably have some concerns. Because some children have weak constitutions, they get sick every now and then or develop other diseases. So when getting the measles vaccine, you may worry whether your child will be allergic to the vaccine or develop other symptoms. In fact, we have also seen that some children will react to vaccines, some of which are local reactions, and some children have systemic reactions. Everyone feels sorry for their own children, and of course no one wants to see a child in pain, but after all, only a minority of children experience adverse reactions.

Parents who have not yet had children or have already had children want to know whether their children will have adverse reactions to the measles vaccine. Experts say that some children will indeed have some adverse reactions. As parents, we all know that we feel sorry for our children, but some children's physical constitutions cannot be changed in the short term, so some adverse reactions are unavoidable. So let’s take a look at the adverse reactions.

Netizen Sui Yue Yao posted the following message on the website: "Urgent! Is it a reaction to the measles vaccine or a cold?" There are many netizens who have such questions. Experts say that in fact, the causes of adverse reactions can be distinguished by looking at the time, blood count and symptoms.

Look at the time: This is because the adverse reactions caused by measles vaccine mostly occur 5 days after the injection. If a reaction occurs the day after vaccination, it is most likely not caused by the vaccine.

Look at the symptoms: For symptoms such as rashes, the best way to distinguish who caused them is to go to the hospital for relevant examinations. The doctor will make a judgment based on the patient's condition, symptoms, etc.

In addition, as far as rashes are concerned, many children actually suffer from urticaria, but many parents still regard it as an adverse reaction to the vaccine. At this time, the judgment of a professional doctor is needed.

Look at the blood picture: If there is a fever, you can do a blood test: Normal cold and fever will show numerical results of bacterial and viral infection in the blood picture, and the child will be lack of energy and be listless. But if the fever is caused by a vaccine, the blood picture will be relatively normal and the child will often be full of energy.

General reactions are usually one-time, that is, after a short-term adverse reaction, the symptoms will ease and disappear on their own. In this case, no special treatment is required. However, severe reactions may cause abnormal reactions such as allergic purpura and allergic rash, which requires timely consultation with the vaccinating doctor and timely medical treatment.

I believe that after reading the above introduction, you will have some understanding of the adverse reactions of measles vaccination. If the adverse symptoms are only temporary, there is no need to worry too much. However, if the above-mentioned abnormal reactions occur, you must go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible to avoid making the disease worse.
