Question
After my baby received the white measles and rubella vaccine, I noticed that the injection site has become red and swollen again, along with peeling skin. The situation seems serious. How should I handle it?
Answer
The recurrence of redness and swelling in the baby may be due to infection at the needle site or side effects of the vaccine medication. So far, there are no severe signs of infection. After the redness appears, it is advisable to use iodine tincture for disinfection and to avoid touching or pulling at the affected area. If the redness and pain intensify, seek medical attention immediately.
