My baby discovered a slight fever of 38 degrees today because of the vaccination.

Patient's question:

My baby is ten months old and has had the vaccination four days ago. Today, I noticed a slight fever of 38 degrees. Is it because of the vaccination?
Past treatment history and effectiveness: Applied fever-reducing medicine and took children's nanoparticles.
What kind of help do you want: 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 in your child. General medication reactions refer to symptoms that reappear within 48 hours or even 72 hours of taking the medication. Since your baby has been vaccinated for 4 days, we should consider other factors that could be causing the fever. Common viral infections are more frequent. 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 for follow-up.
