8 weeks old fever

2021-08-14 02:15:06
My 8 weeks old baby got vaccinated(govt phc) on Wednesday. Gave 2 doses of fepanil that day though she didn't have fever more than 99.1 and had lots of pain. Then all was well. Friday night temperature started to rise and it was 101 today morning 2am. So gave her fepanil and the temperature is again 100.4 now. Is it normal to develop fever 3 days after vaccination. Is it ok to give paracetamol to 8weeks old?

Hello, Paracetamol is ok for your baby. Usually fever subsidies by 3rd day of vaccination, but if it's persisting more than 100, then consult your doctor or online consultation. Follow my Instagram/tiwari_child_clinic for health Q&A. 🙏Tiwari child clinic Delhi🙏
