Question
On the 28th, the child received the A Group Meningococcal Vaccine, and by the afternoon, there was a slight cough. On the morning of the 29th, the body temperature was measured at 37.3 degrees, rising to 38 degrees in the evening along with coughing, poor sleep, and frequent waking. On the morning of the 30th, the body temperature dropped, and clear nasal discharge began, along with loss of appetite and vomiting in the evening. Sleep was sound. On the 31st, the coughing decreased, but there were vomiting episodes both at night and in the middle of the night, and sleep was poor. How should this be handled? Do we need to use medication? What are the drug reactions? How should it be treated? Do we need intravenous fluid therapy?
Answer
Adverse reactions may occur after vaccination, with most babies experiencing only mild reactions after vaccination. Only a small number of children may experience reactions such as redness and swelling at the injection site, fever throughout the body, and occasionally allergic reactions. These reactions usually disappear on their own within 1-2 days and do not require special treatment. If the situation worsens, please seek emergency medical care immediately.
