Question
My son has a fever after receiving the meningitis vaccine. What should I do?
Answer
Hello, a fever after vaccination is a normal reaction and usually does not require concern. You can let your child drink plenty of water, rest, and monitor their temperature. If the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, you can give your child fever-reducing medication such as Ibuprofen or Paracetamol. Additionally, keeping the room well-ventilated and cool can also help lower the body temperature. If your child’s symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor promptly.
