POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy11 months agoA. It seems like you're referring to a vaccination schedule for your baby. If your baby received the JE-2 (Japanese Encephalitis second dose) and MR-2 (Measles and Rubella second dose) vaccines today, here’s what you should know:
After Vaccination Considerations:
1. Common Side Effects: It’s normal for babies to experience mild side effects after vaccinations, which can include:
Fever
Irritability or fussiness
Soreness or swelling at the injection site
Loss of appetite
2. Monitoring:
Keep an eye on your baby for the next 24-48 hours for any unusual reactions or side effects.
If your baby develops a high fever (usually above 100.4°F or 38°C) or has a persistent cry or unusual behavior, contact your pediatrician.
3. Pain Relief: If your baby seems uncomfortable, you can give them age-appropriate pain relief medication, such as paracetamol (acetaminophen), but always consult with your pediatrician first.
4. Hydration: Ensure your baby stays hydrated, especially if they develop a fever.
When to Seek Medical Attention:
If your baby has a high fever that doesn't come down with medication.
If they exhibit signs of an allergic reaction, such as difficulty breathing, swelling, or a rash.
If you have any other concerns about your baby's health following the vaccination.
Conclusion:
Vaccination is crucial for your baby's health, and the benefits typically outweigh the risks of side effects. If you have any specific concerns or questions regarding the vaccinations or your baby's condition, don’t hesitate to reach out to your pediatrician for guidance.
