The baby will have diarrhea after being vaccinated against leprosy

Leprosy is a common disease in our lives. Most of these diseases are contagious, so many children are vaccinated with leprosy vaccine right after they are born. However, there are many adverse reactions after vaccination. Some children may develop rashes within 24 hours, and some children may have a fever. So will babies have diarrhea after being vaccinated with leprosy vaccine?

Based on clinical experience, the child's adverse reaction is probably not caused by the vaccine. Because vaccine reactions usually occur within 24 hours, and reactions can also occur 7-10 days after measles vaccination. The appearance of a rash on the buttocks after a child has a fever is not a reaction to the vaccine. Vaccine rashes should be systemic, and your child developed symptoms on the third day, so it is likely that he has a cold. If a child has a fever, cough, or sneeze, it should be a manifestation of respiratory infection and cold. If a child has a rash on his buttocks, it should be heat rash caused by the child's fever. It is recommended that you do not neglect the care of your child during routine medication, such as dressing and covering with a quilt appropriately to avoid aggravating the occurrence of heat rash after sweating.

If your baby has no other symptoms and just has a fever, your baby may have a reaction to the vaccine. If he has a fever now and his temperature is 39 degrees, you can take oral antipyretic drugs, such as ibuprofen suspension, and make sure to drink plenty of water. At the same time, cooperate with physical cooling treatment. The method is to wipe the baby's skin all over the body with warm water at about 32℃ to 34℃. You can wipe for a little longer in areas with rich blood vessels, such as the armpits, groin, and armpits, to help dissipate heat. The chest, abdomen and other areas are sensitive to cold stimulation, so it is best not to wipe them.

Leprosy invades the human body, and the incubation period is usually about 5 years, but there are also cases where it may take more than 20 years before the disease develops. The following are common symptoms of leprosy:

1. Tuberculoid leprosy

Skin lesions include macules and plaques, usually one or two in number, with neat and clear edges, superficial sensory impairment, asymmetric distribution, and loss of vellus hair at the lesions, which is a very important feature.

2. Borderline tuberculoid leprosy

This type occurs similarly to the tuberculoid type, with macules and plaques that are light red, purple red, or brownish yellow in color. Some patches have neat and clear borders, while some patches have "blank areas" or "hole areas" in the center, forming annular lesions with clear inner and outer edges. The skin within the hole area appears normal.

3. Intermediate borderline leprosy

The rash types include macules, plaques, infiltrations, etc. The colors include wine red, withered yellow, brown, red, tan, etc. Sometimes two colors appear in one lesion. The lesions may be in the shape of bands, serpentines or irregular shapes. If they are in the shape of strips, one side will be clear and the other side will not be clearly infiltrated.

4. Borderline hematomatous leprosy

This type of skin lesions include macules, papules, nodules, plaques and diffuse infiltration. Most of the lesions are tumor-like, with a large number, small shape, unclear boundaries, shiny surface, and red or orange color. The distribution is relatively wide and tends to be symmetrical.
