Question

When should vaccinations be given to a child with a fever? Can medication be taken simultaneously? Is surgery treatment needed? Are there any other effective methods? Do you have any relevant information?

Answer

During a child’s fever, it is not recommended to administer vaccinations. It is advised to wait at least half a month after the child has recovered from the fever before considering vaccination, to ensure the child is in the best physical condition. Vaccines are live bacteria, and if administered when the child is not feeling well, they may cause a strong reaction. For example, after receiving the DTP vaccine, about 90% of children will experience fever symptoms. During the child’s fever, proper care is crucial, and it is important to closely monitor the child’s body temperature and maintain a light diet, providing plenty of fluids.
