High fever in my 2.5 old baby
I have got her vaccination done yesterday and she has got fever after that. I have given her paracetamol thrice already with a gap of 6 hours but the fever isn't coming down. It's 102.3 right now. Is it considered normal having such high fever
after vaccination?

Sometimes it's possible, but viral infection cannot be ruled out. Better to consult physically, so that child can be checked if there is any issue.
