If a baby catches a cold after receiving the vaccination, it may be that his resistance is too low. In this case, do not give them medicine at the beginning, otherwise their resistance will be made even lower. You can regulate their bodies through diet. The daily diet should be lighter. Let them drink more boiled water and eat more fruits.

What to do if you catch a cold after getting a vaccination

1. The diet should be light, soft and thin: Since the spleen and stomach functions of patients with colds are often affected, light, soft and thin foods are easy to digest and absorb, which can reduce the burden on the spleen and stomach. Therefore, it is advisable to eat liquid or liquid foods such as white rice porridge, milk, cornmeal porridge, rice soup, soft noodles, egg soup, lotus root powder paste, almond powder paste, etc.

2. Drink more boiled water: People with colds often have fever and sweat, and lose a lot of water in the body. Drinking plenty of water can enhance blood circulation, accelerate the excretion of metabolic waste in the body, and dissipate body temperature in a timely manner. Therefore, for people with colds who do not have stomach problems, drinking light green tea will have better effects. Tea has a good diuretic effect, and it also has the effects of sweating and stomachic strengthening, and can also clear away internal heat.

3. Eat more fruits and vegetables: Fruits and vegetables can promote appetite, help digestion, replenish a large amount of vitamins and various trace elements needed by the human body, and make up for the insufficient energy caused by cold and loss of appetite. For wind-cold colds, you can eat more ginger, green onion, coriander, etc.; for wind-heat colds, you should eat more rapeseed, amaranth, water spinach, spinach, etc.; for summer-heat colds, you should eat more wild rice stem, watermelon, wax gourd, loofah, cucumber, etc.; when the evil heat is slightly calmer, you should eat more tomatoes, lotus root, citrus, apples, apricots, loquats, sugarcane, water chestnuts, etc.

3. Avoid irregular diet: Food, like medicine, has the properties of "four qi" and "five flavors". Different types of colds should use different foods. If you eat it casually and have an irregular diet, it will not only be detrimental to your cold, but will also make it protracted and difficult to cure. For example, if you have a cold caused by wind and cold, you should avoid eating raw or cold fruits and drinks, because the coldness of the food will cause the mucous membrane and blood vessels to contract, aggravating symptoms such as nasal congestion and sore throat. During the fever period of wind-heat cold, greasy, meaty and sweet foods should be avoided

Because these foods hinder the spleen and stomach's metabolism, produce phlegm and dampness, and cause coughing and sputum, they are not good for people with colds and sluggish spleen and stomach. Therefore, they should not be eaten as heavy fish and meat, glutinous rice sweets, and fried cakes. During the recovery period of a wind-heat cold, it is also not suitable to eat spicy and hot foods such as chili peppers, dog meat, and mutton, so as to avoid damaging the Qi and burning the body fluids, and helping fire to produce phlegm. In addition to avoiding greasy food, people with summer-heat and dampness colds should also avoid overly salty food such as pickles and salted hairtail, because excessive salt will condense dampness and produce phlegm, which will irritate the trachea and cause the cough to worsen, which is not conducive to recovery from the cold.
