Question
After receiving the DTP vaccine, the baby frequently sweats on the head. Although there is no high fever, the baby sweats slightly with movement and gets wet through the pillow during sleep, regardless of day or night. Parents inquire about whether this phenomenon is related to the vaccine and how to treat and check it.
Answer
After vaccination, babies may experience minor discomforts such as redness and swelling at the injection site, fever, and decreased appetite. These symptoms usually resolve themselves within 1-2 days and do not require special treatment; just ensure plenty of hydration and rest. Bathing should be avoided immediately after vaccination. Symptomatic treatment can be provided, such as using physical methods to lower body temperature or taking antiallergic medication. If symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
