After birth, babies need to receive vaccines for each stage to prevent the occurrence of certain diseases. All of them are very necessary. For example, BCG vaccine is used to prevent tuberculosis. It is one of the vaccines that must be vaccinated in our country, so the targets of vaccination are all for newborn infants. After vaccination, children can be prevented from tuberculosis. Can it be squeezed out after getting vaccinated with BCG vaccine to cause suppuration?
Can the BCG vaccine be squeezed out after suppuration
1. BCG suppuration is a normal vaccination reaction. After general vaccination with BCG vaccine, those with strong immunity may experience mild suppuration at the vaccination site, so suppuration with BCG vaccine is a normal phenomenon. If there is no suppuration, it indicates that the vaccination may not have been successful and requires re vaccination. Successful vaccination may result in suppuration and the formation of a scar.
2. About one to two weeks after the baby is vaccinated with BCG vaccine, red nodules with an average diameter of about 10mm will appear locally. They will gradually grow and have slight pain and itching, but will not have a fever; Within six to eight weeks, pus blisters or ulcers will form, gradually softening into white pustules that can self rupture with a diameter of 3-5mm; From ten to twelve weeks, scabs begin to form, and after the scab falls off, a small reddish scar remains, gradually turning red into skin color.
3. BCG suppuration generally does not require treatment. But pay attention to local cleanliness to prevent secondary infections. Do not wear clothes too tight. If pus flows out, use sterile gauze or cotton to wipe it clean. Do not squeeze it. The scab will naturally heal and scab after about two to three months. The scab should wait for it to fall off naturally and should not be removed early. It generally does not affect the baby's health.
The timing of BCG vaccination
1. BCG vaccination is usually administered within 24 hours after the baby is born, and the vaccination site is on the outer side of the deltoid muscle in the upper arm. According to the regulations of the Chinese Ministry of Health, babies who have not received BCG vaccination and are less than 3 months old can be directly vaccinated; If you need to undergo a tuberculin test between 3 months and 3 years old and the result is negative, you can receive a booster shot; Babies aged 4 and above will no longer receive re implantation.
2. It should be noted that the baby should not contact with tuberculosis patients within 2-3 months after vaccination. If the lymph nodes in the same arm and armpit as the vaccination site of the baby are found to be swollen, the baby should be taken to the hospital for examination in a timely manner.
BCG vaccine can prevent those serious types of tuberculosis, such as tuberculous meningitis and disseminated tuberculosis. So this vaccine must be administered, and for the sake of the baby's health, it is necessary to go to the hospital in a timely manner to vaccinate the child. Can the BCG vaccine be squeezed out after suppuration? In the above content, we have already explained this issue to everyone. I would like to reiterate that if pus comes out, do not squeeze it out.
