Does Vaccination Cause Loss Of Voice And Appetite In Infant?
My daughter (2 months) received her vaccinations on Thursday last week. This weekend she has completely lost her "voice" and sounds hoarse and raspy...could it be due to the vaccines? Also, she usually ate (breastfed) every 3 hours (about 3 ounces), but is now wanting to eat every 1.5 hours, and only 2 ounces....could the vaccination have caused the shift in eating behavior too?
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
No ,it is not related to vaccination ,it looks like an episode of laryngitis . Irritability and shift in eating behaviour could to due to vaccination as 2 months vaccine does include DPT vaccine which commonly causes fever ,swelling and irritability for 2-3 days. Episode of laryngitis itself may be causing some of these symptoms or aggravating , do consult your health care provider to rule out some serious issue .
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. *Always check for history of allergy before taking any medicine. Take care.
