#AskTheExpert hi,
my baby got his 6th month vaccination yesterday. after half an hour of taking vaccination we gave him 0.8ml crocin drops. but still he got fever and after 6 hrs we gave him crocin drops. still the fever remained same and again after 6hrs we gave crocin drops. but the fever hasn't reduced. should we consult a doctor or can we wait?

Question

Accepted Answer

will continue for 3 days
when fever and pain comes after vaccination you can give paracetamol to the child for fever as well as pain. 
paracetamol can be given maximum 4 times per day. 
you can also apply ice over the injection site. 
if there is local swelling you can apply ice as well as thrombophob gel.
vaccine fever usually subsides in max 2 to 3 days but if it continues beyond 3 days meet your dr to rule out any other causes of fever

Answer

hello give paracetamol for a day or 2 once in evevey 6 hrs and no improvement then it is better to check with your doctor and your doctor will be able to guide you better on examination of the same and advise you accordingly which is better and also safe too
