Baby is eleven months old, hand, foot, and mouth disease vaccine, fever?

Patient's question:

The baby is eleven months old. In the morning, they received the hand, foot, and mouth disease vaccine, and then they had a fever of 38.9°C at around 11:00 PM. Is it normal for an eleven-month-old baby to have a fever after the hand, foot, and mouth disease vaccine?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description: You should take the child to the hospital for a check-up, follow the doctor's advice on medication, and consider using medical instruments for physical examination if necessary. It is recommended to give the child more water and use physical cooling methods. Whether the low-grade fever caused by medication returns or the fever caused by a cold, the child is affected by hand, foot, and mouth disease. Therefore, family members must take the child to the hospital for immediate medical treatment to prevent blind medication that only alleviates symptoms. For parents, it is important to carefully observe any changes in the child's symptoms and do their best to help the child receive timely medical treatment.
