Baby is sleepy after vaccination

Children will have some reactions to varying degrees after receiving the vaccine. For example, some children will become drowsy after receiving the vaccine. Generally speaking, this will not affect their health, and parents should not worry. They should pay attention to keeping warm and eating light food to prevent skin infections. Do not take a bath within 24 hours and pay more attention to conditioning. Let's take a look at this aspect below.

Baby is sleepy after vaccination

The drowsiness symptoms that babies experience after receiving vaccinations are caused by adverse reactions to the vaccine itself. This symptom will generally gradually improve and return to normal after 24 hours and will not cause any impact on the child. Do not disturb the child when he is sleeping, especially to ensure that the child has enough sleep at night. This will help the child to recover and will not affect physical development and growth due to long-term lack of sleep. Parents should provide the child with a comfortable and quiet sleeping space, and should not disturb the child when he is sleeping. The view of the child’s room should also be dimmed to improve the quality of sleep.

In general, in addition to being more sleepy after receiving the vaccine, children may also experience other adverse reactions, including nausea, vomiting, fever, fatigue, etc. These are all adverse reactions to the vaccine. As long as the symptoms do not last long, parents do not need to be too nervous. During the period when the child has adverse reactions, you should observe the child's physical condition more, especially the mental state must be understood clearly. If the child is always sleepy, you should take the child to the hospital for examination to prevent the sleepiness symptoms from being caused by other diseases. Timely diagnosis and treatment of the disease will have better results.

Vaccine reactions

Within 3 days after vaccination, the baby may experience fever, crying, local redness and swelling, etc. These are all immune responses to the vaccine. These symptoms will gradually disappear after 3 days. If the fever is above 38.5 degrees, take antipyretics. If it is below 38.5 degrees, you can use physical cooling methods and drink plenty of water. The red and swollen areas can be applied with a hot towel or fresh potato slices for 20 minutes each time, 3 times a day.

After the baby is vaccinated, he should be observed at the vaccination unit for half an hour. If there is no abnormality, he can go home to rest. If there is any abnormality, the correct method can be used for treatment in time. After the vaccination, the child should be allowed to rest more, and the child's diet should be light and non-irritating. Parents should also pay special attention to the maintenance and care of the vaccination site.
