How to deal with the side effect of immunization

When to go to the doctor


Before undergoing immunization, tell the doctor if your child has a history of allergies,
autoimmune disease, or cancer. In addition, check your child to the doctor if severe
symptoms appear or if the symptoms worsen after immunization, such as:

 Symptoms of AEFI that get worse or don't go away


 Fever more than 2 days
 Breathing problems such as shortness of breath or loss of sense of smell (anosmia)
 Chest pain
 Fast heartbeat (tachycardia)
 Seizures
 Loss of consciousness
Handling Immunization Side Effects
Immunization has been confirmed to be safe, but it is possible that side effects or AEFIs will
appear as mentioned above. However, you don't need to worry, because AEFI can be
treated independently according to the symptoms.
Some ways to treat the side effects of immunization in children are:

 Give warm compresses and fever-reducing drugs according to the doctor's


prescription
 Give more drink
 Changing children's clothes with thin ones and don't cover the child
 Breastfeed more often
 Provide nutritious food
