My 45 days old baby got his first vaccination yesterday, yesterday he had mild fever but today he have cough is it common to have cough?

Question

Accepted Answer

the coughing is not related to the vaccination and it might have occurred due to temperature variations and weather changes
This occurs due to weather changes or simple cold and some times infection.

kindly give nasal saline drops (nasoclear /nasivion s)every three hourly and since it is a salt water/saline water it does not have any side effects and can be given again and again for nasal blockage and respiratory cough.

Try to prevent temperature variations around the child and you can also give indirect steam inhalation and if there is no improvement in 2 or 3 days then meet your doctor

Hello dear parent! Fever is normal after vaccination. Try giving a light sponge bath to reduce the discomfort. Continue breastfeeding your baby well on demand for better health, nutrition and hydration. Regularly massage your baby with Babyhug daily massage oil for skin warmth. Consult your child’s doctor for evaluation and advice. Good luck and take care.
