Patient's question:
My child is 7 years old. Three days ago, the school organized to get the COVID vaccine. As a result, my child felt unwell this morning and had a fever this afternoon. Is this a consequence of the vaccine shot? What should I do? What fever-reducing medicine is good for my child?Doctor's answer:
This is not necessarily due to the vaccination, and it could also be caused by a cold. If the child has a fever again three days after vaccination, they can take fever-reducing medication orally. If they also have cold symptoms, they should take Children's Paracetamol and Sulfamethoxazole Granules. If the child's temperature remains high and their spirits are poor, they should seek medical attention again.During this period, it is important to drink plenty of fluids, eat a light diet, and avoid getting cold.
The above advice is for the question "Why does a child have a fever after getting vaccinated?" I hope it helps you.
