HI
Well come to HCM
Before giving antipyretic to infant it is most advisable to read the body temperature if it is above 100 F then and then body temperature need to be bring down and first choice would be cold sponging, as long as the fever is concern if it is due to vaccination then it is not danger but this could be said "Fever is friend" more over "Acetaminophen" is not recommended below 12 weeks age, fever due to vaccination comes around very quickly with cold sponging, take care. (In vary rare condition dose should never be exceeded 5 to 7 milligram per kg body weight and should always be given under medical supervision, this for the fever induced due to vaccine only)
