What to do for fever after vaccine in babies and its causes ? I Dr. Sanjeev I Cloudnine Hospital

Fever is a common phenomenon that we see after vaccination particularly in DPT vaccine. Vaccines with a fever is not a disease. It is just a reaction of the body to the vaccine and the antigens that are there in a vaccine. So fever in a vaccine should not be troublesome except that some vaccines such as DPT vaccine causes more fever than other vaccines. This causes lot of
worry in parents. Fever after vaccine is a normal phenomenon and parents should not panic about that and the only medicine that is usually required is paracetamol. It’s a body’s way to react to the vaccine and generate immunity or what is also called as pyro genesis sometimes that happens
with the vaccine components that are given. So the body reacts in the form of generating more temperature which is not unusual which is not a disease or an infection. Majority of the children with new generation nowadays do not generate too much of fever but still some children can have it. The only concern that sometimes stays with the parents is some children can throw a fit. If there is a family history of fits with fever such parents have a little concern about that. But that doesn’t mean that your child should not be vaccinated because fever that comes with vaccine are
generally mild or moderate whereas if the same disease comes to the child it may have a lot of havoc on the baby. Fever that comes with vaccine is generally mild to moderate, it is benign, it usually doesn’t cause any problem. A simple paracetamol is more than enough to take care of the
fever. Usually it lasts for a day or two and not more than that. Anytime if a child has very high fever, shows any other symptom like getting very sick, not responding, throwing a fit then that is a totally different phenomena and if such thing happens then you should immediately return to the hospital and the concerned people will take care of it.
