HI

Thanks for posting your query.


Fever due to vaccination will be mild and harmless. If fever is mild then no need for any medication, but if it is high ( 100 F or more ) then do some tepid sponging with cold water and even then if fever persists give the medication again in small quantity.

Hope this information was useful to you.

Any clarification feel free to ask.
