Patient's question:
Yesterday I got the varicella vaccine, and today 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 is not necessarily caused by the vaccine. Currently, the main focus is on consultation and further measures to address the issue, as well as fever reduction treatment.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 drinking more water to alleviate it. Monitor the temperature changes closely, and if the fever rises to 38.5°C or higher, it is important to administer fever-reducing medications such as ibuprofen suspension for treatment.
