Infants are required to receive certain statutory vaccines, which is also an important preventive measure to ensure their healthy development and avoid harm to their physical health caused by certain infectious diseases. But vaccination should only be administered when the body is healthy and has no other illnesses. So, can a baby get vaccinated if they have some phlegm?
Most cases of phlegm in a baby's throat are caused by upper respiratory tract infections. Although the baby does not have fever symptoms temporarily, the presence of inflammation can lead to severe infections and abnormal adverse reactions after vaccination. Therefore, in this situation, if the baby has phlegm in their throat, vaccination or injection should not be given temporarily.
Infants with phlegm in their throat require necessary conditioning and treatment. If there are no fever symptoms during the period of phlegm, dietary therapy can be used to reduce the symptoms of phlegm in the throat. If the baby has entered the stage of adding complementary foods, they can boil some vegetable juice or make some vitamin rich water quality drinks such as fruit juice to feed to the baby, which has the effects of moistening the lungs, stopping cough, and resolving phlegm.
If you have not yet entered the stage of adding complementary foods, you can increase the amount of water fed to the baby. Add 20-30 milliliters of warm water to the baby during each feeding interval. If a baby has symptoms such as fever during the period of phlegm in the throat, they should seek medical attention promptly. Avoid severe upper respiratory tract infections that may cause bronchitis or pneumonia in children.
