Hello Ma'am,
Fever is a common effect that can occur following a vaccine. It may also be accompanied by fatigue, arm pain, or nausea in the days following the vaccine. The fever lasts about 48 to 72 hours following the vaccine.
To reduce the fever, it is recommended that both children and adults use Tylenol. To improve mother's comfort, you can also employ the following non-pharmacological measures:
  • Well hydrated
  • Wear light clothing
  • Apply a cold water compress to the forehead
I hope I have adequately answered your question!
Happy day,
