General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

As a physician I would like to tell you that if she has been given anti rabies vaccine for the dog bite, then this could be mild side effect of vaccine and nothing to worry about. You can give her Syrup Ibugesic plus for her fever and dosages have to be adjusted according to her age and weight.

I would suggest that you should visit your healthcare provider and explain the symptoms to him and get prescription for a syrup instead of Pills.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Abhjeet
