Welcome to HCM

9th month vaccine i.e, measles vaccination is a livr vaccine. Hence it will cause adverse reactions like pain at the injection site, fever, poor appetite.

You dont ve to worry much for it. It will settle in 2-3 days.

Keep giving your baby paracetamol drops as per his weight reqiirement (15mg/kg/dose) every 6th hourly or when ever he is spiking temperature.

Feed your baby well.
Take care.
