Did you baby have a fever after vaccines?

Question

Answer

My 2 boys never reacted badly to vaccines but my daughter always has terrible reactions! She gets a high fever for 2 days after and is miserable i think every baby is different.

Answer

I would try to ignore the comments against giving the vaccines. Fever is to be expected after a vaccine and is highly manageable. I'm a nurse in Australia and we recommend giving paracetamol +\- ibuprofen for 48 hours post any vaccine for comfort. Some children can have very high fevers which are uncontrolled by these two combined, however, can be treated in the hospital setting. A fever is actually a good thing and I can assure you in the ED setting we DO NOT jump to lower a fever, unless of course there is a risk of febrile convulsions (which are also very manageable!). I certainly wouldn't be choosing to not vaccine my child because of a fever (ridiculous!). Hope that helps!
