Does a baby's fever have anything to do with vaccinations?

Patient's question:

On March 13th, I got vaccinated, and starting from March 14th, I had a fever for three consecutive days, with a temperature of 39 degrees. The doctor said it was a cold, but I don't have any cold symptoms. I want to know if it's related to the vaccination.

Doctor's answer:

A vaccine is a foreign protein. After anesthesia, it may cause a fever reaction, typically around 38 degrees Celsius and lasting for one to two days. In some cases, the temperature may exceed 39 degrees Celsius. However, if the baby's temperature drops and they are in good spirits with a normal appetite and no other discomfort, there is no need for concern. If your baby's fever persists for three days without returning to normal, it may be a cold, and you should consider treating it as such. The above advice is for the question "Is the baby's 6-month fever related to vaccinations?" and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
