Preventive PCM for Pentav

2021-01-02 06:53:30
Hi My baby boy was born (birth wt: 2.6 kg) on 18 oct 2020 (10 week 6 days old and ~3.2-4 Kg now) We got him vaccinated today with Pentav (2nd dose) OPV (3rd dose) Rotavirus (2nd dose) Last time, we placed icepack for 2 min every 2 hours for 6 times after first dose of pentav vaccine but he still got fever in night. And then we gave him some paracitmol drops and he became fine. Can we give him 5 paracitmol drops as PREVENTIVE measure to prevent any fever after doing icepack for 15 min after the vaccination today  even if he does NOT get any fever ? Or do you suggest to give pcm drops only if fever comes ?

ice pack reduces pain not fever.Paracetamol drops 0.4 ml is adequate dose for ur child for fever. fever is expected for 48 hrs with pentavac. if not resolved in 48hrs visit doctor
