What to do if your baby has a fever from mumps



MMR generally refers to MMR vaccine. As babies’ individual body resistance is different and their reaction to the vaccine is also different, after receiving MMR vaccine, some babies may have mild fever and other symptoms, which can usually be relieved on their own after a period of time, but children with severe disease need to consult the doctor in time for targeted treatment.

Mild fever may occur, which can be relieved on its own, and generally no special medication is needed. If necessary, proper rest, drink plenty of water, pay attention to keep warm, can also use physical methods to cool down, such as using hot towels to wipe the neck, forehead, groin and other parts of the body. At the same time, parents need to closely observe the child’s spirit, appetite and other conditions.

If the body temperature is high after vaccination, it is necessary to consult the doctor in time and follow the doctor’s instruction to use heat patch or oral ibuprofen and other antipyretic drugs to maintain the body temperature in a normal state, in order to prevent hyperthermia convulsions. At the same time should be appropriate to increase clothing, and closely monitor the child’s body temperature changes.

Parents should respond calmly when fever and other adverse reactions occur, and send the child to the hospital if necessary.
