A. its normal only Any temperature above 100 F is fever in babies Always measures temperature in armpits only.  No need to give any fever medicine if fever is below 100 F.  If asociated complaints like cough, cold, loose motion  Treat that accordingly as per ur pediatricians advice. Keep ur baby well hydrated.  Baby should pass minimum urine 6-8 times per day.  Visit ur pediatrician once.

A. A body temperature of 98°F (36.7°C) is normal for a baby. It's common for babies to have a slight increase in temperature after vaccinations due to their immune system responding to the vaccine. Here are a few things to consider post-vaccination: 1. **Slight Fever**: It's normal for babies to have a mild fever (up to 100.4°F or 38°C) after vaccinations. 2. **Comfort Measures**: Keep your baby comfortable with light clothing and ensure they stay hydrated. You can use a cool compress to help soothe the injection site if it's swollen or sore. 3. **Monitor Symptoms**: Watch for any signs of an adverse reaction, such as a high fever, prolonged crying, or a rash. Contact your healthcare provider if you have concerns or if the fever persists. If your baby seems uncomfortable or the temperature exceeds 100.4°F (38°C), you might consider giving infant acetaminophen (Tylenol), but it's always best to consult your doctor for the appropriate dosage and advice.
