Hello. I just read through your question. Regardless of the immunization, or how many immunizations are received at once, fever and/or irritability can happen and it can last for 2-3 days. It will usually not last longer than that. If it does, it's worth another conversation with your doctor. In the meantime, you can try using cool compresses to the injections sites to alleviate the discomfort.
