Question
After my baby gets the Hepatitis B vaccine, their eczema seems to worsen. What should I do?
Answer
The exacerbation of eczema may be due to the child’s allergic constitution and may be related to the vaccine administration. It is recommended to use medications such as diphenhydramine and antihistamines for treatment, as well as traditional Chinese medicine like purple grass decoction for external washing. Moreover, maintaining the baby’s skin dry and clean, and avoiding excessive rubbing, can also help alleviate eczema symptoms.
