What are the Side Effects of Immunoglobulin Therapy?
While immunoglobulin therapy is generally safe, some children may experience side effects such as:
- Mild reactions: Headache, fatigue, fever, and chills. - Moderate reactions: Allergic reactions, rash, or muscle pain. - Severe reactions: Anaphylaxis, although rare, is a serious allergic reaction that requires immediate medical attention.
Healthcare providers closely monitor children during and after the infusion to manage any potential side effects promptly.
