The consequence of having phlegm in the throat after vaccination

The emergence of vaccines has made a great contribution to the health of human beings. Because of the existence of vaccines, we have reduced the probability of contracting certain acute diseases at the root. When the baby is born, the hospital will give parents a small booklet which details when the baby should be vaccinated. Parents only need to take the baby to the hospital on time. If my baby has phlegm in his throat during vaccination, can he still continue to get the vaccine?

If the case is mild with some phlegm but no other symptoms, you can get a vaccination. When getting the vaccination, a doctor will examine the baby. Tell the doctor about the situation. The doctor will look at the condition of the baby's throat and then decide whether you can get the vaccination. Just listen to the doctor. It is generally not recommended to use medication for such a small child.

The vaccine is an inactivated virus that has lost its ability to infect, but it can serve as an antigen to induce the human body to produce antibodies without causing disease. It is an injectable vaccine. Vaccination is an effective means to prevent infectious diseases caused by certain pathogenic microorganisms (such as bacteria, rickettsia, viruses, etc.). Humans have used various vaccines to control the spread of diseases to the greatest extent possible. For example, the smallpox virus was basically eradicated after the emergence of the cowpox vaccine.

Depending on the type of vaccination, the injection site is different. Most common injections are on the arm, but there are exceptions such as on the buttocks and head.

Infants should not be vaccinated:

1. If children who are suffering from a cold or fever caused by various diseases are vaccinated at this time, their body temperature will rise or the disease may be induced and aggravated.

2. Children who are recovering from an infectious disease or have a history of contact with acute infectious diseases but have not passed the quarantine period. If you get a vaccination at this time, it is easy to have adverse reactions or make the original condition worse.

3. Children with asthma, eczema, urticaria and allergic constitutions are prone to allergic reactions after vaccinations, especially measles vaccines, diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis mixed vaccines and other vaccinations with strong allergens, which are more likely to cause allergic reactions. Children with a history of epilepsy and convulsions are prone to syncope, convulsions, and shock when receiving vaccinations, especially Japanese encephalitis vaccine and diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis combined vaccine. People with severe rickets should not use polio sugar pills.

4. Children with acute and chronic kidney disease, active pulmonary tuberculosis, severe myelopathy, suppurative skin diseases and suppurative otitis media may experience various adverse reactions after vaccination, which may aggravate the original condition and affect the recovery of the sick children. It must be pointed out that children with congenital heart disease can still receive vaccinations as long as their function is good.

5. During the vaccination period, if the child is feeling uncomfortable, has symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and severe cough, the vaccination can be temporarily postponed with the doctor's consent, and the vaccination can be given again after the symptoms improve.
