What should I do if the child has a fever and dry vomiting after receiving the DTP vaccine?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I have a fever and vomiting after getting the DTP vaccine? Can you check it?

Doctor's answer:

Fever caused by vaccination in babies is usually below 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the child shows no other obvious discomfort, special treatment is not necessary because this fever is a normal response of the baby's body and will disappear in a short time. There are two types of DTP vaccines available for babies: the half-price whole-cell DTP and the paid acellular DTP. You can decide on the anesthesia yourself. The latter is more expensive but has significantly fewer side effects.
