Patient's question:
Yesterday afternoon, I took my baby to get the hepatitis B vaccine. After that, she had a fever. I want to consult about it. What's the reason for the fever after the baby got the hepatitis B vaccine?Doctor's answer:
The baby received the hepatitis B vaccine and developed a fever. This is a normal situation. The hepatitis B vaccine can cause a fever in babies. It is recommended that you closely monitor the baby at any time. You can give the baby more warm water to drink and use a warm towel to wipe the baby's hands and feet. If the temperature is below 38 degrees Celsius, it is suggested that you give the baby some fever-reducing medication or an antipyretic injection. It will gradually improve.Additionally, the patient needs to maintain a regular schedule, ensure adequate warmth, eat light and soft foods, keep the room well-ventilated, and drink plenty of warm water to prevent the condition from recurring.
