Question
What should I do if my baby’s eczema worsens after receiving the Hepatitis B vaccine?
Answer
The exacerbation of eczema in children after receiving the Hepatitis B vaccine may be due to an allergic constitution. It is advisable to consult a doctor and use appropriate medication for treatment. Topical medications such as calamine lotion or a short-term application of hydrocortisone cream may be effective. Oral medications like diphenhydramine and promethazine may also be helpful. Traditional Chinese medicine treatments for eczema can also be effective, and options like purple grass decoction for external washing can be chosen.
