Question
The newborn started crying and showing some symptoms of a cold after receiving the vaccine on the 10th. They have been reluctant to breastfeed for the past two days and are not sleeping well. They cry every time they are fed, and now can only be fed a maximum of four times a day.
Answer
Hello, based on your description, the newborn may be refusing to breastfeed due to shock after vaccination or having a sore in the mouth. It is important to keep the baby warm and provide appropriate medication. For common cold symptoms, you can give medications such as Sangjiao Cold Tablets, Children’s Cold Syrups, Platycodon Root Syrups, Yinyao Detoxification, Liushen Pills, and Vitamin C. Since the newborn may have certain diseases, it is recommended that parents take their child to a doctor for treatment as soon as possible and avoid using unknown sources of medication. During the treatment process, parents should provide enough care and attention to help the child recover quickly.
