Hello, post vaccine you will not get such fever spikes.
Fever is usually expected in first 48 hours.
Next Steps
Kindly document the temperature using a digital thermometer. If the temperature is more than 100F it is fever. The range of temperature, timing will guide the doctor further

Very happy to respond to your question
You told about your kid having fever every 10-15 days is not because of the Dpt booster , usually Dpt booster will have mild fever other than any symptoms , so we have to check other causative measures for the fever like infections source
So please wait for 2 days if still having fever and looking sick please consult once
Next Steps
Have to go for blood investigations
