What to Do If a Child Feels Feverish After Receiving a Vaccine?

Question

Should medication be used to reduce fever if a child gets feverish at night after receiving a vaccine?

Answer

If a child develops a fever after receiving a vaccine and the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, medication can be used to reduce the fever. Below 38.5 degrees, physical methods of cooling can be tried, such as removing clothing and drinking more water. At the same time, precautions should be taken to prevent colds, and attention should be paid to whether further medical assistance is needed.
