What to Do If a Child Gets a Fever After Receiving a Vaccination?

Question

What should I do if my child gets a fever three days after receiving a vaccine?

Answer

This situation could be due to the vaccination itself, or it might also be caused by the common cold. After receiving the vaccine and developing a fever three days later, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If accompanied by cold symptoms, oral pediatric paracetamol sulfate granules should be administered. If the child’s body temperature remains high and they are in poor spirits, it is necessary to visit a hospital for further examination. During this period, ensure the child drinks plenty of water, maintains a light diet, and avoids catching a cold.
