My child who is 3 years old has rashes all over his body. I did treatments too but nothing seems working. Please provide me some guidance.

The Beginning: Those First 24 HoursRight after your baby arrives, before you've even figured out how to change a diaper properly, the hospital will want to give three vaccines. I know it seems intense, but hear me out. The BCG vaccine goes in the upper left arm and protects against tuberculosis. It'll leave a small raised bump that eventually becomes a tiny scar, and that's completely normal—it can take up to six months to fully heal, so don't worry when it looks weird for a while. They'll also give the first Hepatitis B shot, which protects the liver from a nasty virus that can be passed from mother to child. This one needs to happen within 24 hours, so they're not just being pushy. Finally, there's the oral polio vaccine—just two drops in the mouth, super easy, and your baby probably won't even notice it happened.Six Weeks: The Real Journey BeginsThis is when things get real. At six weeks, your baby will get their first round of what feels like a lot of shots all at once. The DPT vaccine protects against diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), and tetanus—three diseases you definitely don't want your baby catching. It's usually combined with the Hib vaccine (which prevents bacterial meningitis and pneumonia) and another dose of Hepatitis B. They'll also get their second oral polio drops. If you're going for the full package, there's the PCV vaccine for pneumonia and the rotavirus vaccine for severe diarrhea. Fair warning: these vaccines can make your baby fussy, give them a mild fever, and the injection sites will probably be sore and red. Have infant paracetamol (like Calpol) ready at home before you go for these shots—you'll thank yourself later.Here's what nobody tells you: yes, your baby will cry, and yes, it will break your heart. But here's the thing—the crying stops way faster than your anxiety does. The best thing you can do is stay calm, because babies are basically emotional sponges and they'll pick up on your stress. If you're breastfeeding, nurse right before, during if you can manage it, and immediately after. It's the ultimate comfort move.Ten and Fourteen Weeks: Round Two and ThreeGood news and bad news. Bad news: you're doing this all over again at ten weeks and fourteen weeks. Good news: you now know what to expect. Same vaccines, building up those antibody levels. Your baby might react similarly to how they did at six weeks, or they might surprise you—every kid is different. By the time you finish the fourteen-week round, your baby has solid foundational protection against the major diseases that used to kill children regularly.Nine Months: The Fever That Comes LaterAt nine months, your baby gets the measles-rubella vaccine, and this one's a bit sneaky. Unlike the earlier vaccines where side effects show up within a day or two, this one can cause a mild fever or rash about seven to ten days after the shot. I'm telling you this now because it's super common for parents to panic when their baby suddenly develops a fever a week later and they've completely forgotten about the vaccine. It's normal. It's expected. Mark it on your calendar so you don't lose your mind wondering what's wrong. They'll also get a Vitamin A supplement at this visit, which isn't a vaccine but helps with immunity and vision development.Twelve Months: The Home StretchBy the time you hit twelve months, the heavy lifting is mostly done. Depending on where you are and your doctor's recommendations, this is when you might consider the typhoid vaccine (especially important in Nepal where typhoid is common) and the first dose of Hepatitis A. These are often private vaccines you'll need to pay for, but given the disease burden in our region, they're worth considering.

I recently became a parent, and my baby is now approaching the 6-month milestone. I want to make sure I'm fully informed about the vaccination schedule and what to expect during this critical period.Could you provide a comprehensive guide covering:Vaccination Schedule What are all the vaccines my child should receive from birth to 6 months? At what specific ages/weeks should each vaccine be administered? Are there any vaccines that require multiple doses during this period?
