Many people worry about vaccine side effects that may occur after vaccinating their children. In fact, most people do not experience any serious side effects from getting the vaccine. The most common vaccine side effects include pain, swelling and redness at the injection site, and fever is usually mild and goes away quickly within a few days without medical help. Some people do not have any side effects from the vaccine.

aFamilyToday Health will provide information on common vaccine side effects and how to deal with when a child feels sick after a vaccination through the article below.

The vaccine's side effects

The side effects of the vaccine are mild, including:

Pain, swelling, and redness at the injection site

Low-grade fever

Tremor

Feeling tired

Headache

Pain in muscles and joints

A less common but serious side effect from the vaccine is an immediate allergic reaction, also called anaphylaxis. This is a serious and potentially life-threatening side effect. However, side effects from this vaccine are very rare and can be completely treated in the emergency department.

Keep in mind that serious side effects from vaccines are extremely rare, and getting vaccinated is much safer than not being vaccinated. Also, not all symptoms that occur after the vaccination are side effects of the vaccination. Millions of people are vaccinated each year, so some coincidence cannot be avoided from continuing to develop an infection or disease soon after immunization.

What to do when a child is not well after vaccination?

The most common side effects in infants and young children at the injection site include:

Swelling

Red

A small lump at the injection site

Usually, these symptoms go away after a few days and you don't need treatment. Occasionally, a child may have a fever. In that case, try to keep your baby cool by not overdoing it with layers of clothes or blankets. You also need to give your child cold water. You can also give your child a dose of liquid paracetamol or ibuprofen . Do not forget to consult your doctor and follow the directions on the label.
