Question

After my child received the third dose of the Hepatitis B vaccine, the doctor said to drink some water. Is this necessary? After receiving the third dose, the doctor instructed to drink water, but no matter if I use a bottle or a spoon, the baby won’t drink. Is this really necessary? …

Answer

Every vaccine can cause adverse reactions, including fever, regional redness, swelling, and pain. This is a normal phenomenon. Since everyone’s physique is different, the likelihood of experiencing adverse reactions also varies. Offering water to children is to reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions. If the baby refuses to drink, there is no need to force them. Just pay attention to the child’s condition for two days after vaccination and avoid catching a cold.
