It is normal and will wear off.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
After a DPT vaccine, it is normal to have mild headache, fever, dizziness, etc. All these are common and expected symptoms after the vaccine. The dizziness that you are feeling is likely to subside in next 1-2 days without any treatment. Please do not worry.
Just keep on taking plenty of fluids orally and have some rest. You can also take acetaminophen in case fever develops.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
