Always check the temperature before giving paracetamol. Paracetamol dose depends on the weight. 15mg per kg 6th hourly if temperature more than 100 F for 2-3 days for fever due to vaccination. If the baby is underweight or if the temperature is too high or any other unusual symptoms the baby may require check up.

Yes, if fever persists you can usually give the next dose after 6 hours, provided the dose advised by your pediatrician is according to baby’s weight. Mild fever after vaccination is common, even in premature babies.
Keep baby well fed and monitor:
• Poor feeding
• Breathing difficulty
• Excessive sleepiness
• Persistent high fever
If any of these occur, contact your pediatrician immediately.
