For several centuries, the population has been vaccinated. It is carried out in order to increase the ability of the immune system to fight the viruses and infections that every person is exposed to throughout their entire lives.
The health system has identified a number of vaccinations that anyone should receive. Ignoring routine vaccination makes the body weaker and unable to endure many serious diseases. Such neglect of one ’s own health can even lead to death. The vaccination process is especially important for young children, as their immune system has not yet been strengthened and has not been fully formed. It is for this reason that children often have a fever after vaccination.
In fact, the vaccine does not pose any danger to humans, it only makes the immune defense activate and begin to produce antibodies, that is, to fight the disease. The temperature after vaccination is considered a normal reaction of the body, which indicates that the process of antibody production is started. In an adult, such a reaction (fever) is rare. This is due to the fact that his body is stronger and resistant to many diseases.
Since the child’s immune defense is at the formation stage, a slightly elevated temperature is almost always observed after vaccination. A qualified pediatrician always monitors this process, he is also obliged to warn parents about the consequences. This condition can last several days. However, to refuse vaccination because of this is very stupid. After all, each vaccine includes only the norm of infected cells that the immune system can defeat. It is better, for example, to survive that the temperature has risen after being vaccinated against measles, than a possible infection in the future (which may be accompanied not only by temperature, but also by various complications).
After vaccination, the immune system begins to produce antibodies to get rid of the pathogen and prevent it from developing. Thus, the body's ability to defend itself against viruses and infections is gaining strength, or, as is commonly said in medical practice, a stable immunity is developed. That is, even when in contact with an infected person, the possibility of catching the disease exists, but it is minimal (we are talking, of course, about the ailments against which the vaccination was carried out). And if vaccinated and gets sick, then the disease will pass in a much milder form.
In addition to the fact that there is a high temperature after vaccination, a person may experience general weakness, lethargy, and he is sleepy. In some cases, there is a strong fever, then you should help the body and drink any medicine that lowers body temperature (optimally based on paracetamol or ibuprofen).
Careful parents should prepare their child before vaccination, that is, check if they are allergic to the components of the drug being injected or to a chronic infection. If the baby has only recently been ill (even with a cold), then the vaccination should be postponed to a later date. The state of the cardiovascular system can be a determining factor, because of which it will be simply dangerous to get vaccinated, so a thorough examination should be carried out on time.
Thus, if the temperature rises after vaccination, it means that the process of antibody production has begun in the body. But you should not expect an instant effect. Persistent immunity can not appear in just a few days. The usual recovery process after vaccination lasts several months. During this time, the child should be protected from hypothermia, from contact with sick people, from any sources of infection. In order to help him quickly return to normal, you can choose a complex of vitamins, and you also need to feed your baby only with natural products that contain healthy substances in large quantities.
