Question

The newborn developed a fever at 11 AM after receiving the vaccine. After being checked in the hospital, it was found to have a bacterial infection, and the infection index has decreased. All other test results are normal. The parents are asking when the baby can be discharged and what possible infection routes might be involved.

Answer

Has the baby undergone a blood culture test? If the blood culture results are positive, indicating bacterial growth, then a 10 to 14-day antibiotic treatment is required. If the blood culture results are negative and all other indicators are normal, and the body temperature has been normal for three days, discharge can also be considered. Common infection routes are usually respiratory or gastrointestinal. This is the suggested approach for the question ‘What should I do if my baby feels feverish at 11 AM after vaccination?’ I hope this helps, and wish you good health!
