Question
A six-year-old child experienced vomiting and diarrhea after receiving the H1N1 vaccine. How should this be handled?
Answer
After receiving the H1N1 vaccine, adverse reactions such as fever, discomfort, chills, sweating, muscle pain, and joint pain may occur. These symptoms usually resolve on their own within 1-2 days and generally do not require special treatment. However, if the symptoms are severe, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be taken orally. If oral medication is ineffective and symptoms worsen, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, staying hydrated and maintaining a light diet can help alleviate symptoms.
