Vaccination fever can come for 1or 2 days. Beyond this the cause can be different. Consult pediatrician if abnormally suffering from symptoms.

Greetings
Post-vaccination fever is a completely normal sign that your baby's immune system is building protection.Paracetamol drops can be safely given every 4 to 6 hours if your baby has a high temperature.You must ensure at least a 4-hour gap between doses and never exceed 4 doses within 24 hours.Always calculate the exact dose based on your baby's weight and the specific strength of your medicine.Keep your infant hydrated with frequent breast milk or formula feeds and dress them in light clothing.
