Question
Why does my baby keep crying after getting vaccinated?
Answer
It is common for babies to cry continuously after receiving vaccinations, which may be due to the pain during the injection or discomfort afterward. Typically, these symptoms are most pronounced on the day of vaccination, with babies being particularly fussy at night and possibly showing signs of fever. However, these are normal reactions to vaccination, and parents should not be overly concerned. To alleviate the baby’s discomfort, offer plenty of fluids to help with fever reduction and soothe the unease. At the same time, parents can provide more comfort and reassurance to make the baby feel secure. Generally, these symptoms will gradually diminish by the second day after vaccination. If the baby’s symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to take the baby to see a doctor promptly.
