You can give paracetamol every 4 hours ( 6 times in 24 hours ) if fever or pain is there. If it lasts more than. 48 hours, consult a pediatrician. Look for swelling over injection site or any new symptoms.

Paracetamol can be given 4-6hourly. So minimum gap is 4 hours. No other precautions to be taken. In case of fever persisting beyond 48 hours please visit your nearest pediatrician. Thanks.

Fever after vaccination is a common thing. It implies body’s immune response. If the baby is uncomfortable with fever then u can give pcm drops
Next Steps
Atleast 6-8 hrs gap should be maintained between 2 doses
