Can getting a vaccine make my newborn sick with stuffy nose?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
More likely irritant: Having a smoker around, anyone wearing perfume or any fragrence or dust exposure in babies environment is much more likely to cause nasal stuffiness than any vaccine. Doing a lifestyle audit, where u eliminate such exposures is imperative when a newborn is around. They don't mouth breathe as easily to bypass the congestion so you really must work to exclude irritants from their environment.

Coincidence: Stuffy nose in newborns is a common transitional condition. Saline nose drops or humidifier should be of help.

My 1 year old had his 1 year vaccines 12 days ago. He had bit of a runny nose 3-4 days after and was extra cranky. Today he seems raspy in his voice when he cries. No cough or runny nose. Could it be vaccines, getting sick or just his voice is raspy?
