Child has a fever that doesn't go down after getting the hepatitis A vaccine.

Patient's question:

Yesterday morning, I took my daughter to get the hepatitis A vaccine. In the afternoon, she started feverish. I gave her fever-reducing medicine, but it hasn't gone down yet by this morning.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the common adverse reactions after vaccination are usually fever.
Advice:
If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, you should take fever-reducing medication and encourage the child to drink more water. If it's due to the vaccine, the fever generally lasts for about 3 days, and you can wait and see.
