Patient's question:
My child is seven and a half months old. Previously, due to illness, they missed a vaccination. Yesterday morning, my child got vaccinated, and at the time, I didn't notice anything. Today at noon, my wife told me that my child has a fever. Is this normal? Besides physical cooling and taking fever-reducing medicine, what else can I do to help my child reduce the fever? Seeking answers.Doctor's answer:
A seven-and-a-half-month-old baby developed a fever after getting vaccinated. Many children experience this situation again. If it's not a cold, the fever caused by vaccination usually subsides within one or two days. First, use physical cooling methods. If the temperature drops below 38.5°C, give the baby fever-reducing medication. Make sure the baby drinks plenty of water. Mommy should avoid spicy, irritating, and greasy foods. The above advice is for the question "My child is seven and a half months old and previously got sick." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
