Patient's question:
Is it normal for a 6-month-old baby to have a fever after receiving the hepatitis B vaccine?Doctor's answer:
Hello! It is rare for fever to occur as an adverse reaction after receiving the hepatitis B vaccine. A very small number of children may develop a fever, but it is usually not very high.Advice: If the child's temperature is below 38.5°C, you can let the child drink more water and apply warm compresses to help lower the temperature. If the temperature is above 38.5°C, you can use fever-reducing medication for symptomatic treatment. There is no need to use antibiotics or antiviral drugs to avoid affecting the vaccine's effectiveness.
