Question
A six-year-old child experienced diarrhea, vomiting, and dry heaves after receiving the H1N1 vaccine. The inquiry is whether these symptoms are related to the vaccine and if treatment is necessary.
Answer
After receiving the H1N1 vaccine, it is possible to experience mild reactions such as fever, discomfort, chills, sweating, muscle pain, and joint pain. These symptoms usually disappear on their own within 1 to 2 days after vaccination and do not require special treatment. If symptoms are severe or persistent, medical attention should be sought promptly. In daily life, it is important to drink plenty of water and maintain a light diet.
