Do infants get fever after vaccination?

Yes, it is very common for babies to get a mild fever after vaccination. Usually it goes away on its own within 24 to 48 hours.

I have raised three children and now watching my grandkids grow up. Vaccinations almost always bring a little fever, it is just their tiny body building strength. Keep the baby comfortable, use a wet cloth on the forehead if needed, and don't worry too much.

I totally get it, seeing your little one warm and crying after injections is so heart-wrenching. My daughter also had a fever after her 6th-week shots and I was terrified. Just hold them close, feed them well, and it will pass very soon.

Whenever we go to our hospital for vaccinations, the pediatrician always writes down the exact paracetamol dosage based on our baby's current weight. Please don't give any medicine on your own. Just call your doctor's clinic and ask them what the correct dose is for your baby.

In our family, my mother-in-law suggests wiping the baby with warm water to soothe them. But we always call our doctor first if the fever stays for more than a day. Mild fever is perfectly normal after shots, so keep your calm and check with your pediatrician if you are worried.

This is just a temporary phase of growth for your little soul. Try to keep a positive and calm energy around the baby, as they catch our vibrations easily. Take care, give them lots of love, and this fever will settle down by tomorrow.
