Question
The nine-month-old baby received Hepatitis B and Leprosy vaccines and then took ibuprofen suspension, but the fever did not subside. The baby was also given a fever-reducing patch, and blood test results were normal. The fever reached 39.5 degrees at night, with the head still feeling hot. Please advise.
Answer
Hello, it is common for a child to have a fever after vaccination, which usually subsides on its own within three days. It is recommended to increase fluid intake, use warm water to wipe down, apply fever-reducing patches, and also take ibuprofen for fever reduction.
