Question
I received the shot yesterday morning and developed a fever by the afternoon. What should I do if my child has a fever after receiving the pneumococcal vaccine?
Answer
Hello, if your child is coughing with phlegm, it’s likely due to a respiratory inflammation caused by a cold. You can use children’s cough syrup, children’s lung heat cough syrup, in combination with azithromycin or amoxicillin for antibiotic treatment. You can also give your child some sugar-cane and pear juice or cooked pear with Fritillaria thunbergii to help relieve coughs with excessive phlegm. Remember to keep your child well-hydrated and ensure warmth to prevent catching a cold.
