Question
A six-month-old baby developed red rashes on the face and hands after receiving the sugar pill and diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus vaccine, resembling an adult’s heat rash. These rashes have recurred over the past month. What is the situation? Can the baby continue with vaccinations and sugar pills next month?
Answer
This condition may be a side effect of vaccination. It is recommended to pause subsequent vaccinations and take the child to the hospital’s surgical department for examination. If diagnosed as an inflammatory condition, anti-inflammatory medications should be used for treatment, and the situation will gradually improve. Additionally, allergic reactions should be checked. Before any further treatment or vaccination, it is important to understand if the child has other symptoms and proceed under a doctor’s guidance.
