Question

After my baby received the flu vaccine, their fever reached 38.4 degrees. Is this a normal reaction?

Answer

A fever in your baby after vaccination could be a normal reaction to the flu vaccine. It’s common for babies to experience symptoms like fever and rashes following vaccination. It’s advisable to feed your baby appropriately, encourage plenty of fluids to help cool down their body temperature. Also, keep a close watch on their body temperature, and if it rises again, it’s important to take them to the hospital for a follow-up visit. Moreover, to prevent infection, avoid taking your baby to crowded places. Wishing your baby a healthy growth!
