Question
I received the Diphtheria and Pertussis vaccine at 9 AM on Saturday and started to have a fever at 10 PM that night. The fever subsided after taking antipyretic medication, but it came back a few hours later. This continued for two days. Additionally, drinking hot water seemed to alleviate the fever. Is this related to the vaccination? I also sweated during sleep last night but was not feeling hot.
Answer
Based on your description, if there are no other discomforts or abnormalities, it can be considered a fever reaction caused by the vaccine. A detailed examination should be conducted to determine the specific situation, and active treatment should be initiated. Usually, there is no major issue in such cases; symptomatic treatment is sufficient. Maintain a proper diet and strengthen care to avoid adverse effects. If the fever is very high, you can use medications like Anrak, which usually helps improve the condition. Specific treatment should follow the guidance of a clinical doctor. These suggestions are for your reference and hope they are helpful to you, wishing you good health.
