Question
What should I do if my child has a fever, weakness, and is unable to wake up after receiving the tuberculosis vaccine, and doesn’t seem very alert either?
Answer
If your child experiences a fever, weakness, and is unable to wake up following the tuberculosis vaccine, you can first use alcohol to bathe them to help lower the fever. Next, it’s important to determine the cause of the fever, as it can be due to various factors such as infection, connective tissue diseases, or malignant tumors. It’s not recommended to rush into medication without first identifying the cause. If you suspect it’s due to calcium deficiency, consider supplementing with calcium, such as through consuming yogurt. Not only does yogurt provide calcium, but its probiotics also help regulate intestinal function.
