What Is The Treatment For Hepatitis A And B In A Child?

Hello, My 2 year old had Hepatitus A & B jab last Thursday and became ill with a chesty cough and flu symptoms in the last 48 hours. She is now showing a temperature of 39.2 and has very watery eyes and is pretty upset / whinging, are these symptoms of the vaccine?

Hi,

I had gone through your case and understand your concern.
Flu like symptoms after the vaccine is a quite common side effect.
Don't worry generally.
It is not serious and should go by itself within a few days, but if it is getting away or the child is not able to breathe properly you must consult your doctor immediately.
Otherwise, you can wait for 3-4 days if it's a mild flu and can give paracetamol and the child should be fine thanks

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shantnu Sharma, Ayurveda Specialist
