Question

The baby has been crying and fussing lately, not sure what’s wrong. The hospital check-up didn’t help much. Should a 2-month-old baby receive the second type of vaccination?

Answer

Hello, according to the newborn vaccination schedule, the baby needs to receive the BCG vaccine (to prevent tuberculosis) and the first dose of the hepatitis B vaccine at birth, and the second dose of the hepatitis B vaccine and the sugar pill for preventing poliomyelitis when one month old. For the baby’s persistent crying and fussing, other factors may need to be considered, such as enteritis. It is recommended to use Huoxiang Zhengqi pills and fluoxetine capsules for treatment, and to drink plenty of water to maintain electrolyte balance in the body. If symptoms are severe, it may be necessary to consider fluid replacement.
