Treatment/Therapy
The treatment of vaccination reactions is purely symptomatic. At elevated temperatures after vaccination, antipyretic agents may be administered. If the vaccination site is reddened and swollen, cooling or anti-inflammatory creams can provide relief.
If the baby is very tired and weak after the vaccination, he should be given sufficient time to regenerate. He will recover quickly from the vaccination effort. If there are complaints of the gastrointestinal tract, the most important measure is that the baby drinks enough to avoid dehydration.
Agents for diarrhoea or vomiting should not be administered. Vaccination reactions usually end quickly by themselves. If a vaccination illness occurs, such as the vaccination measles, only symptom-relieving measures such as fever reduction help.
The vaccination diseases are like the vaccination reactions quickly overcome. A certain treatment is not necessary.
