Question
A child experienced a feverish symptom after vaccination, with the symptoms varying in intensity for three days. The parents are worried whether this fever is related to the vaccination.
Answer
The child’s symptoms indeed indicate signs of an upper respiratory infection. Treatment can usually be oral silver and gold granules, and if the blood count is normal, antibiotics are not necessary. If there is a fever, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication such as nimesulide granules can be used, and for those with phlegm, fresh bamboo decoction or ambroxol oral can be tried. The most important thing is to drink plenty of water. Wishing the child a healthy recovery.
