#asktheexperts hello doctor good afternoon Today, my child received a painless vaccination. Can fever occur after the vaccination? Should I use a cool compress at the injection site?

A. If there is a swelling and no pain no fever then there is no point doing a cold compress and with a painless vaccination the benefit is that the fever does not come and usually swelling also doesn’t come so if you see any symptoms then you can do cold compress otherwise it is not required
