Hi,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
It is common for children to be irritable after vaccination.
Power cut and the hot weather might have added to the problem.
Paracetamol prescribed by your doctor may be useful to bring down the pain.
Some times excessive crying is seen with pertussis vaccination which is a component of DPT.
Hope this helps.
Take care.

Hi,
It appears that your son was given the regular DPT +OPV shot and hence the fever.
The fever due to vaccination will settle down in 3 days.you can give him painkillers like paracetamol to relief his fever and pain.You could also do cold sponging at the area of injection.
You could also opt for painless vaccine next time which leads to no fever and pain post vaccination.
Power issues can be sorted out by using invertors/generators at home .
Bye
