Question
Can a baby use ice packs if they have a fever after receiving a vaccine?
Answer
If a baby has a fever after receiving a vaccine, it’s initially advisable to use alcohol wipes for cooling. Then, further investigate the cause of the fever, as there are many possible reasons, with the most common being infection, followed by connective tissue diseases, malignant tumors, and more. It’s not recommended to rush into using medication before determining the cause. Various pathogenic factors should be eliminated, such as treating systemic diseases and sinusitis. Pay attention to nutrition and strengthen physical fitness. Regionally, you can use solutions like compound borax solution, furazolidone solution, and diluted salt water for gargle, as well as various lozenges for oral administration. Medications like Jinyan Lianhe Wan and Leqing Qing oral can also be considered.
