There are some targeted vaccines that need to be administered to babies of different ages, but when getting vaccinated, it is important for the baby to be in good health and not have adverse symptoms such as colds, fever, cough, etc. But some babies may have a yellow snot, so can babies get vaccinated for yellow snot?
1. Whether a baby with yellow nasal discharge can receive vaccination depends on their specific physical condition. If, after examination by a doctor, it is found that the yellow nasal discharge is only caused by pediatric rhinitis, which belongs to local inflammation, and there are no fever symptoms when measuring body temperature, and the baby's mental state is good without any other adverse reactions, prophylactic injections can be administered.
2. If the baby's yellow nose is caused by upper respiratory tract infection, such as having a wind heat type cold, measuring body temperature with fever symptoms, accompanied by various adverse symptoms such as yellow nose and cough, vaccination should be postponed and targeted treatment should be given first. Vaccination can only be considered when there are no fever, cough, or yellow nose symptoms.
3. In addition, after getting vaccinated, the baby should be observed in the observation room for about 30 minutes to ensure that there are no adverse reactions before leaving home. Do not take a shower within 24 hours after vaccination to avoid contact with water in the needle hole area and to prevent infection. After returning home, encourage the baby to drink more water in moderation and observe for any abnormal adverse reactions in the following days. If the baby experiences any discomfort, seek medical attention promptly for examination.
