Flu vaccine after fever
My Daughter is getting a fever and continuous fever from lastt two days after she had a vaccination for the flu.
Answers (6)
Mild fever can occur after an influenza (flu) vaccine, usually starting within 1–2 days and resolving within 1–3 days. However, fever persisting for 3 days, especially in a young child or infant, deserves clinical assessment because an intercurrent infection may coincide with vaccination.
What to do
* Continue fluids frequently.
* Keep clothing light and avoid over-wrapping.
* If uncomfortable or fever is significant, paracetamol can be used according to the child’s weight. Routine antipyretic use solely to prevent vaccine reactions isn’t generally necessary.
