Question
My baby had a severe intravenous reaction. What impact could this have on the future? After my baby experienced a severe fever and purple hands, they have recovered after treatment. But I want to know if intravenous reactions could have any impact on the future? What should be noted when receiving vaccinations or other intravenous treatments?
Answer
The causes of intravenous reactions are complex and not solely due to issues with drug quality, but rather a combination of various factors. First, it’s important to determine which medication the child is allergic to and avoid using the same class of drugs in the future. The intravenous treatment itself is safe; just avoid using the medication after identifying the allergy, and there’s no need to be overly concerned. Typically, intravenous reactions do not have any lasting impact on a child’s future. If you are worried, it’s best to consult with a doctor to understand how to prevent and manage drug allergies.
