Suggest Treatment For High Fever Post DPT Vaccination
Hello My daughter is 18 month and it s been 3 days now she got her dpt vaccination.and since the day of vaccination she has fever n today it is reached to 102. Before her vaccination she caught viral infection n was down with fever for 2 days and when she recovered then only I went for her vaccination. She is cranky since 10-15 days n not eating properly , I still feed her thrice but in between meals she vomits . Still I manage to give her little food.doctor asked to get hb checked, can this be dur to iron n calcium deficiency? Her teething is still going on, her first backteeth are appearing.. plz help
Hi...Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15mg/kg/dose (maximum ceiling dose of 500mg) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol.
