In daily life, many people will get vaccinated to prevent diseases, especially children who will receive many vaccines, such as flu vaccine, HIB vaccine, etc. So what if they get swollen after getting vaccinated against type B flu? To address this issue, follow the editor below to learn more.
Firstly, influenza vaccines belong to attenuated active vaccines. Although they can stimulate the production of antibodies in the human body, they can also have certain side effects, such as swelling, pain, fever, and other symptoms at the vaccination site. However, if there is local swelling and pain after type B influenza, hot compress can be tried to restrict the movement of the vaccination site, which is beneficial for wound improvement.
Secondly, if there is normal swelling and pain after vaccination, there is actually no need for special treatment, nor is there anything to wipe on the swollen and painful area. Just clean it well to avoid infection. Pay attention to cleaning and do not let the vaccination site touch water. This way, the symptoms can usually disappear on their own within 1-2 days. If the swelling and pain do not improve for a long time, it is best to go to the hospital for examination.
Finally, although there is no mandatory requirement for vaccination for type B influenza, many parents take their babies to get vaccinated, and children's immunity is not as strong as adults', making them more susceptible to virus invasion. It is best for children to wait until they are over one year old to get vaccinated for type B influenza, and for the health of their babies, it is recommended that parents take their babies to get vaccinated.
