Patient's question:
My baby is ten months old and had a vaccination four days ago. Today, I noticed a slight fever of 38 degrees. Is it because of the vaccination?Past treatment and effectiveness: Applied fever-reducing medication and took children's nanoparticles.
What kind of help do you need: Should I go to the hospital for a check-up?
Doctor's answer:
The medication has been taken for 4 days. If we do not consider vaccine adverse reactions, we should not first consider vaccine adverse reactions as the cause of fever. Generally, a drug reaction refers to symptoms that reappear within 48 or even 72 hours of taking the medication. Since the baby has been vaccinated for 4 days, we should consider other factors that could be causing the fever. Common viral infections are more prevalent. It is recommended to give fever-reducing medication if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees. Please carefully observe the symptoms tomorrow. If they continue to improve, it is advised to consult a pediatrician again.
