Question

After a 4.5-year-old child received the influenza vaccine, the frequency of colds increased, and the medication treatment was not effective. Is this related to the vaccine?

Answer

The influenza vaccine only has a preventive effect against influenza and is ineffective against common colds. It is recommended to engage in more outdoor activities to enhance physical fitness. If a respiratory system issue is diagnosed, it should be treated actively in coordination with a doctor, and good hygiene habits should be cultivated. Parents should pay attention to their child’s balanced diet and avoid picky eating and dietary preferences.
