Patient's question:
A few days ago, I had a bit of a runny nose with dry nasal crusts blocking my nose. My temperature, spirits, and appetite were all normal, but I cried when I woke up from my nap. I don't know if it's related to teething or calcium deficiency. Today, I got vaccinated for hepatitis B, recombinant hepatitis B, and meningococcal meningitis. After coming home, everything was normal—feeding, napping, and sleeping for four hours straight. I woke up twice during the nap, and the baby was crying both times. Later, I checked the temperature and it was 37.4°C. After drinking some water, the baby napped and was fed again. Now, three hours have passed, and the temperature is between 38.3°C and 37.4°C. The baby has been crying the whole time. How high does the temperature need to be to give fever-reducing medicine? Can I give the baby a fever reducer and German PP?Doctor's answer:
The child's fever is suspected to be a reaction to the encephalitis and meningitis vaccine. Please closely and carefully monitor the child's condition. It is recommended to use cold compresses or alcohol baths to reduce the fever. Alternatively, you can visit the hospital for further examination. If there are no other discomforts, the issue should not be too serious. If the fever is high, please visit the hospital promptly.The above advice is for the question "A few days ago, the child had a slight runny nose, dry nasal crusts blocking the nose, fever, mental state, and feeding." I hope it helps. Wishing you good health!
