Question
The baby was born just a few days ago, and recently, for some unknown reason, the baby has been constantly scratching their ears. Can a baby with a clear runny nose get vaccinated?
Answer
A baby with a clear runny nose can still receive vaccinations. Vaccinations are injectable vaccines, and getting vaccinated is an effective means of preventing infectious diseases caused by certain pathogenic microorganisms (such as bacteria, rickettsia, viruses, etc.). Your situation may be caused by bronchitis and requires treatment with antibiotics, hormones, antihistamines, antivirals, and traditional Chinese medicine. It is advisable to avoid spicy food, alcohol, and cold foods that may irritate the throat. It’s also important to strengthen physical activity and build up the immune system.
