Patient's question:
Today, I just got the measles vaccine and started having a fever in the afternoon, over 38 degrees Celsius. I drank a lot of water, but it didn't come down. By night, the fever went up to over 39 degrees Celsius. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Generally, some children may experience a low fever again after anesthesia vaccination, which is a normal reaction to the vaccine. If the temperature is below 38 degrees, it is advisable to pay attention to drinking more water and closely monitor the situation. If the temperature exceeds 38 degrees, oral fever-reducing medication and physical cooling treatment should be considered. In your current situation, using fever patches to help your child with physical cooling is recommended. Typically, if the fever is caused by the vaccine, it should return to normal within about two days.
