What to do if you have a fever after getting hand and foot vaccines

After vaccination, some uncomfortable symptoms often occur, such as fever, nausea and vomiting, itchy skin, redness, swelling and pain at the injection site, drowsiness and lack of energy, etc. These are all normal phenomena. Generally speaking, these symptoms will disappear on their own in 1 to 2 days, and mothers don’t need to worry too much. For conditions such as fever, we can use certain cooling methods to lower the temperature, such as ice compresses, drinking hot water and sweating, etc. It is recommended not to take medication as much as possible. If the fever is too high, go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.

Hand, foot and mouth disease is a disease that children at this stage are more likely to get. Children aged five or six are usually not careful when eating, and some bacteria are transmitted to the body through their hands and mouths. They will only cause some red blisters and red rashes on their hands, feet and mouths, and even ulcers. It is difficult to completely eradicate the bacteria that cannot be identified. Therefore, many people get some hand, foot and mouth disease vaccines. Although it has a certain defensive effect, it cannot completely block the possibility of children getting sick.

Steps/Methods:

If your child is preparing to receive the hand, foot and mouth disease vaccine, you need to be careful not to eat spicy food or irritating food. At this time, there will be certain hand, foot and mouth disease reactions after the vaccine. You must pay attention to see if the child has an overreaction. If the fever is particularly severe, go to the hospital in time.

After receiving the hand, foot and mouth disease vaccine, you should also pay attention to your child's daily meals. Make sure he uses clean dishes and chopsticks, and disinfect the toys that he often touches with his mouth to reduce the possibility of bacteria parasitism. At the same time, allow more air circulation in the home.

If a child has been vaccinated against hand, foot and mouth disease, he or she may still contract hand, foot and mouth disease, because it only gives the child his or her own immunity to the virus. It does not mean that you will never get it again after contracting it once. Therefore, you must pay attention to it in daily life. If the child has a fever and often has headaches and coughs, you must go to the hospital for a check-up.

Another very important point is not to mix tableware with children, such as using adult chopsticks and spoons to feed children. Because many adults will not have obvious symptoms after infection, but will transmit the virus to children through poor hygiene habits. It is recommended to use separate tableware for children at home and bring convenient tableware when dining out.

Note:

Try to disinfect the bowls, chopsticks and toys that children use separately because adults may be careless and have bacteria on them. Children's resistance is relatively weak, and if they do not have hand, foot and mouth disease, they may suffer from gastrointestinal colds.
