Question

Can babies receive vaccines while they have a cold?

Answer

Generally, babies can receive vaccinations 3 to 5 days after they recover from a cold. However, if vaccinated during the illness, it may cause adverse reactions such as fever. Despite this, slightly delaying the vaccination time has little impact on the vaccine’s effectiveness. It is recommended to take the baby for vaccination when they are healthy. Based on your description, your symptoms mainly belong to manifestations caused by viral infections, and treatment should focus on anti-inflammatory measures. You can use penicillin for intravenous infusion treatment.
