Question
After receiving the intramuscular HIB injection, my child has developed a large number of bleeding spots, which recurred two days later and are mainly distributed on the face and lower limbs. These have been persistent for 20 days now. Previous treatment measures and effects: oral antihistamines, vitamin C, and calcium tablets. Assistance sought: Will the bleeding spots on the face disappear?
Answer
After your baby receives the vaccine, you can offer more warm water to drink. Parents should carefully observe their baby’s reactions and avoid vigorous exercise. If your baby has a slight fever or loss of appetite, this is normal and usually resolves itself within 1-2 days. However, if the reaction is severe and persists for a long time, you should immediately take your baby to the hospital for a check-up. You can use medication to lower the temperature if the fever is below 39 degrees, but do not take antibiotics on your own as this may reduce the effectiveness of the vaccine. A baby’s normal body temperature ranges between 36.2-37.2 degrees Celsius. Additionally, it’s important to provide your baby with a balanced diet to boost their immunity. You can try giving your baby colostrum, such as Soul Sun Colostrum, to promote growth and development.
