What should I do if my baby has a high fever the day after getting vaccinated?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Fever caused by vaccination can be treated with antipyretic drugs for symptomatic relief. There is no need to use antiviral medications or intravenous fluids, as these may interfere with the vaccine's effectiveness.
When the temperature is below 38.5°C, you can use lukewarm water to bathe the body for cooling or apply fever-reducing patches to the forehead. If the temperature is above 38.5°C, you can use medications like Tylenol or Advil for fever reduction. However, if the child refuses to eat or drink and is at risk of dehydration, intravenous fluids may be necessary.
