Does rotavirus cause fever?
My 6-month-old baby just got the rotavirus vaccine dose today. I'm a bit worried about possible side effects. Will my baby likely develop a fever from rotavirus?

Yes, rotavirus definitely causes fever, especially in young kids and babies. It usually starts with a mild to moderate fever along with vomiting, followed by watery diarrhea. Just make sure to keep them hydrated and check with your pediatrician.

Yes, it does cause fever. When my niece had it, she had a high temperature. Just like managing my thyroid, keeping track of symptoms and consulting the doctor for proper guidance is very important.

When my son got infected, our pediatrician explained that fever is one of the primary symptoms of rotavirus, along with severe watery diarrhea. He advised us to focus on hydration using ORS and to seek immediate help if the fever goes very high.
