Homa baada ya chanjo

Kwanini homa hutokea baada ya chanjo?

Chanjo hutayarisha mfumo wa kinga ya mwili kuulinda dhidi ya virusi au bakteria wanaoweza kuleta ugonjwa. Homa hutokea kwa sababu chanjo huwa na viunda vya vijidudu vinavyoamsha mwitikio wa kinga ya mwili. Hata hivyo, chanjo hazisababishi ugonjwa halisi kama vile vimelea asili vinavyofanya mtu kuugua. Kwa baadhi ya watu, mwitikio wa kinga huwa na nguvu ya kutosha kusababisha dalili kama homa kali.

Nini unapaswa kufanya unapopata homa?

Mara nyingi si lazima kutumia dawa za kushusha homa kama paracetamol baada ya chanjo. Inashauriwa kunywa maji ya kutosha. Kama homa ni kali au inakupelekea kukulaza, tafadhali wasiliana na daktari kwa ushauri zaidi.
