Premedication before vaccination. This is when people try to cheat nature

Everyone knows that after vaccination, you need to sit in the clinic for half an hour in order to understand that a severe allergic reaction has not begun. Everyone is invited to do this, but a severe reaction from which you can die is somewhere in one case in a million.

If a person is in a medical institution, then he will be quickly helped. If a person walks down the street or sits at home, then it is very difficult to escape from such a reaction.

Therefore, sit for half an hour in the clinic.

As usual with us, many people consider themselves to be much more cunning than medical statistics and strive to prepare in advance by eating antihistamines.

The trick is that antihistamines won't save you from a severe allergic reaction.

The bad news is that antihistamines can slightly delay a severe allergic reaction.

It turns out a funny thing - a man with the best intentions ate antihistamines, received a vaccine, I served my prescribed half hour with discipline, went home and collapsed from a severe allergic reaction already home. It's sad.

There are still a huge number of people who are panicky afraid of a rise in body temperature after vaccination or pain in a punctured shoulder. These are pre-loaded with anti-inflammatory drugs.

A different story happens to them.

First, against the background of antipyretic and pain relievers, the effectiveness of vaccination may decrease. That is, some part of the immune system will not work.

Secondly, although anti-inflammatory drugs spoil the production of normal immunity to the vaccine, they themselves can provoke the development of an allergic reaction.

That is, without anti-inflammatory drugs, a person would receive their cherished vaccination and calmly go home. But he wanted to deceive nature and ate anti-inflammatory drugs in advance. They triggered an allergic reaction that would not have happened without them. It's also a shame.

From all this, the conclusions:

If the doctor has already prescribed something like this for constant use, then continue to take it, but mark it in the questionnaire before vaccination. Most likely nothing terrible will happen.

If the doctor did not prescribe, then do not engage in amateur activities. There may be more harm than good.
