A 8-month-old baby develops a fever of 38.3°C at night after receiving the Japanese encephalitis vaccine. What should be done?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Some children may experience fever after getting vaccinated. This could be due to individual differences, allergic reactions, or vaccine responses. If the child's temperature exceeds 38 degrees, they can take fever-reducing medication such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Fever patches can also be used. If the fever remains high and shows no improvement, it's best to visit the vaccination room at the hospital.
