Thank for asking
I gone through your question, understand your concern
As there is history of 18 month vaccine yesterday, More chance that she is having fever due to that vaccine. The teeth grinding is common is fever.
so give the Motrin thrice a day and if not controlled i suggest to add paracetamol 15 mg per kg per dose , can be given up to 4 times a day
hope answer your query
