A. If your child has an ongoing cold and cough, it is generally advisable to consult with the pediatrician before proceeding with the vaccination. Here's why: 1. Mild Illnesses: If your child has a mild cold or cough without fever, it's usually okay to proceed with vaccination. However, the decision is ultimately up to your pediatrician. 2. Moderate to Severe Illness: If your child is showing symptoms like fever, significant discomfort, or other signs of illness, it may be better to postpone the vaccination until they recover. Vaccination during active illness can sometimes cause an enhanced immune response and make your child feel worse. 3. Typhoid and Hepatitis A Vaccines: Both vaccines are generally safe, but if your child’s immune system is already fighting off an infection (like a cold or cough), it might be better to wait until they are fully recovered to avoid any complications. Conclusion: It's always best to contact your pediatrician to get their opinion based on your child's current condition. They will be able to assess whether it's safe to go ahead with the vaccine or suggest rescheduling it.
