Patient's question:
Symptom Description: Fever on the second day after getting the meningococcal vaccine, current temperature is 39.0°C. Past Treatment and Effect: Felt better after taking fever-reducing medication. Temperature dropped after sweating a lot. Desired Help: Unsure whether to continue monitoring or take additional fever-reducing medication.Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello, based on the symptoms you described, your child's fever is caused by vaccination, which is an immune response and a normal phenomenon. Since vaccines contain weakened active viruses, it is inevitable to have certain side effects after vaccination. Currently, you don't need to be too anxious. If there are no other symptoms, you don't need to give him any other medication. If the fever is above 38.5°C, you can use some fever-reducing medication. If it is below this temperature, physical cooling is sufficient. Wishing your child a speedy recovery.
