Question
Three-month-old baby got the DPT vaccine two days ago and has been running a fever since today.
Answer
It’s likely a vaccine reaction. The DPT vaccine can often cause a fever reaction. You can first give the baby some warm water to drink. If the fever is due to a vaccine reaction, it usually subsides after drinking some warm water. If the fever does not subside or the body temperature continues to rise, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a blood test to rule out coincidental colds and other diseases that may cause fever.
