Can I take a shower on the same day after getting the spermatozoon tetanus vaccination?

Under normal circumstances, babies need to get a lot of vaccines during their growth. It is best to avoid giving the child a bath on the same day after receiving the vaccine, because bathing is likely to cause wound infection. Sometimes some vaccines will cause some adverse reactions after being administered. If a bath is taken, catching a cold can easily interfere with judgment. Therefore, it is generally not recommended to bathe the baby on the same day after the vaccination.

1. Children with dermatitis, purulent skin diseases, and severe eczema should not be vaccinated. They can only be vaccinated after they recover from the disease.

2. Children with body temperature over 37.5℃ and swollen armpits or lymph nodes should not be vaccinated. The cause should be found out and cured before vaccination;

3. Children with severe heart, liver, kidney diseases and active tuberculosis should not be vaccinated;

4. Children with abnormal development of the nervous system, including the brain, sequelae of encephalitis, and epilepsy should not be vaccinated;

5. Children with severe malnutrition, severe rickets, or congenital immunodeficiency should not be vaccinated;

6. Children with allergic constitutions such as asthma and urticaria should not be vaccinated;

7. When a child has diarrhea, especially if he or she has more than 4 bowel movements a day, he or she must wait for two weeks to recover before taking the polio vaccine.

8. Children who have recently received polyvalent immunoglobulin should not receive measles vaccine within 6 weeks;

9. Common diseases such as colds and mild low fever may be temporarily postponed for vaccination depending on the situation;

10. Vaccination is not recommended when you are hungry.

Normal typical reactions after vaccination

Reaction 1: Local redness, swelling, heat, and pain

Representative vaccines: Injectable vaccines

Almost every vaccine given by injection has the potential to cause this local reaction. The more obvious ones include tetanus vaccine, which may also be accompanied by reactions such as local lymph node enlargement and itching at the injection site. These local reactions are generally mild and most of them disappear on their own after two or three days. They are normal reactions to vaccination.

Treatment method:

Applying a warm compress to the injection site with a clean towel can relieve pain and discomfort. Be careful not to let your baby scratch the injection site to avoid secondary infection. If the redness, swelling, heat and pain at the vaccination site continue to intensify, and the local lymph nodes are obviously enlarged and painful, it means that secondary infection may occur. You should take your baby to the hospital and ask the doctor to treat it in time.

Reaction 2: Fever

Representative vaccines: diphtheria, pertussis, measles, influenza, meningitis, hepatitis A, etc.

This type of fever usually occurs within 24 hours after vaccination, and is often accompanied by systemic reactions such as fatigue, drowsiness, irritability, and general discomfort. A few babies may also have gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Generally, the baby's body temperature is below 38.5℃ and lasts for 1 to 2 days.

If the fever is below 38.5℃ and the baby has no other obvious discomfort, there is no need for special treatment. Let the baby drink more water and rest more. Generally, the body temperature will return to normal within 1 to 2 days. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5℃ and is accompanied by severe symptoms such as irritability, vomiting, or the body temperature persists after 2 days and tends to continue to rise, you should consider whether the baby has been infected by other bacteria during this period. You must go to the hospital for treatment in time.

Abnormal reactions after vaccination

Abnormal conditions, such as severe allergic reactions, high fever, or unusual headaches. Severe allergic reactions are rare to any vaccine and, if they occur, can occur within minutes to hours after vaccination. Symptoms include: difficulty breathing, hoarseness, wheezing, hives, pain, weakness, rapid heartbeat, or dizziness. If high fever or seizures occur, they will appear within 1-2 weeks after vaccination.

How to deal with it: Contact a doctor immediately or take your baby to the hospital; tell the doctor what happened, what day and time it happened, and when the vaccine was given.
