Is Fever After Taking Vaccination In A Child Normal?

Check the dose of Tylenol, do sponging, ibuprofen may be needef
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for asking on this platform
Fever following vaccination is very common and it is due to immune response of body to the vaccine.
Tylenol contains acetaminophen and is a very safe drug.It comes in form of syrup(160 mg/5 ml) or drop(80 mg/ml).
I would like to know the amount and form of preparation which you have used. If given in inadequate dose fever may recur earlier.
The drop should be given 1 ml while syrup 2.5 ml. It can be given at an interval 8 hourly.
Sponging also helps in controlling the temperature.
If fever persists or recur earlier even after giving proper dose of acetaminophen and sponging, ibuprofen syrup may be needed.
I hope this helps.
Please write back if you have any more query.
Regards
