Patient's question:
The baby had a high fever that wouldn't break after getting the hepatitis B and Japanese encephalitis shots on the same day. The hospital said it was nothing to worry about, but the persistent fever is causing concern. What if the baby gets a fever after getting both the hepatitis B and Japanese encephalitis shots on the same day?Doctor's answer:
The baby received the hepatitis B and Japanese encephalitis vaccines on the same day, and it is acceptable to get vaccinated in this way. Currently, the baby has a high fever that won't go down, which may be a reaction to the vaccines. This can happen. You can give the baby fever-reducing medication. If it is indeed due to the vaccines, the fever should subside easily, so there is no need to worry or take special measures.The hepatitis B condition is quite serious. It is recommended that the patient receive timely and symptomatic treatment while also paying attention to dietary issues. Avoid spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition.
