What kind of help is desired: Please have the doctor provide a prompt response. Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
After vaccination, fever may occur. Mild fever is 37-37.5°C, moderate fever is 37.6-38.5°C, and a fever above 39°C is considered severe. Additionally, some babies may experience headaches, dizziness, general weakness, chills, nausea, dry vomiting, abdominal pain, and vomiting. These symptoms usually subside within 24 hours and rarely persist for more than 3 days. If the fever is severe, fever-reducing medication can be taken. Once the body temperature returns to normal, other symptoms should also subside. If the low-grade fever does not subside or if there are other abnormalities, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. You can take your baby to the pediatric department for a check-up.
