Patient's question:
Yesterday, after getting the chickenpox vaccine, I have a fever of 38.5 degrees. Can I take ibuprofen oral disintegrating tablets? Are there any other methods?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, here is the explanation: Generally, if it is caused by a vaccine, it may recur within 24 hours after vaccination and usually improves within 24 to 48 hours. However, it may not necessarily be caused by the vaccine. Currently, the main focus is on consultation and further measures for fever reduction.By measuring the temperature, a fever of 38.3°C should be taken seriously. It is recommended to use physical cooling methods such as warm water bathing and increasing fluid intake to address it. Monitor the temperature changes closely, and if the fever rises to 38.5°C or higher, it is advisable to administer fever-reducing medications such as ibuprofen suspension for treatment.
