You can expect fever for 48hrs post vaccination
No need to worry. Just continue paracetamol as and when needed.
If fever continues after 2 days, see your pediatrician once.

No need to worry about that until baby is active and feeding properly. You use dolo drops according to weight .
If fever is more you can do tepitz sponging with luke warm water.
