Many people, after falling ill, do not like to take medication. This can be alleviated through injections. However, there are also some people who are afraid of injections and prefer to take medication for treatment. If they need injections, they should go to a regular place. Can a two-year-old baby get an injection?
Of course, in addition to vaccines that need to be injected at various stages, babies may also need to receive injections when they are sick. In a healthy state, they also need to receive various types of preventive injections, although occasionally, the location of the injections may vary. Sometimes when a baby has a severe fever, doctors may use injections to help the baby get rid of the fever as soon as possible.
Attention should be paid when administering preventive injections to a two-year-old baby, and they must be administered while the baby is in a healthy state. If the baby has cough, cold, fever, or even diarrhea, they cannot receive preventive injections. When giving an injection to a baby, be sure to hold the baby tightly. After the injection, use a disinfectant cotton swab to press the injection site for a period of time until it completely stops bleeding.
Although most babies cry during injections, it is very necessary to get vaccinated to prevent them from developing some infectious diseases in the future. In addition to preventive injections, if you accidentally inject your baby when they are sick, you should also go to the hospital for injections to prevent some small clinics from not disinfecting the needle tubes used for injections and spreading diseases to the baby.
