Roseola infantum is a common disease in early childhood, also known as fever rash or roseola. It is caused by a virus and is a common rash infectious disease in infancy and childhood. It may be caused by a virus and spread through saliva splashes, but it is not as contagious as measles. It is a relatively common disease in early childhood. Most children have had this disease before the age of 2. The disease is characterized by sudden high fever, which usually lasts about 4 days, and then a pink spotted rash appears all over the body.

Vaccination is to prevent some highly contagious diseases that cause serious harm to the human body. In fact, vaccines themselves are attenuated or inactivated bacteria or viruses. The vaccine attacks the immune system when it enters the human body, forcing the immune system to produce antibodies, thereby preventing the corresponding bacteria or viruses from entering the human body again and causing damage to the human body. Therefore, after vaccination, the human immune system will be attacked and discomfort will occur, such as fever.

If you feel any discomfort after vaccination, you can only receive symptomatic treatment. The main systemic symptom is fever, without other symptoms. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, the baby needs to be given antipyretics (Tylenol containing acetaminophen or Motrin containing ibuprofen); if the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees, physical cooling methods can be used and drink more water; fever after vaccination is more common within 24 hours after injection, and the fever generally does not last more than 48 hours. When assisting with cooling, make your baby as comfortable as possible and wait for the reaction to go away on its own. However, if fever occurs several days after vaccination, it is not necessarily related to the vaccine. It is recommended that children should seek medical attention if their fever persists for more than 3 days or is accompanied by symptoms such as severe cough.
