   BCG is a kind of vaccine for preventing tuberculosis of infants and young children. Our National Ministry of Health stipulates that all newborn babies can be vaccinated free of charge. Because each child has a different body constitution, different bodies will appear after vaccination. In response, moms should take care of them during this period.

   2. Keep partly clean, do not grasp with hands, cut nails frequently, change underwear frequently.

  Normal phenomenon after BCG vaccination

  Generally, the skin at the vaccination site is slightly red and swollen within 2-3 days after vaccination, but soon Will subside. At about 4 weeks, the area gradually reddens again, and small white pustules (also called grouting) appear, which will rupture on their own in the future, and some pus will gradually scab, and the scab will gradually leave a slight scar after shedding, and the time before and after is about 2-3 months, these are normal phenomena.

  Remember, don’t pick it out yourself to avoid infection and unpredictable consequences. There are a few people who have no scars or swollen lymph nodes in the left armpit due to different body conditions. They can go to the original vaccination unit for inspection and treatment.
