Is it normal for my 15-month-old to get a high fever of 103.4?F just two days after his MMR 2 vaccine, and should I take him to a doctor even though I am giving him Calpol syrup every six hours?
While mild fevers can occur after the MMR vaccine, they typically develop 7 to 12 days later. A fever of 103.4?F two days post-vaccine, even while giving Calpol (paracetamol), warrants a quick visit to your pediatrician. This helps rule out other common childhood infections and ensures he is on the right track. Please continue keeping him hydrated, dress him in lightweight clothing, and monitor his activity levels. Seeking a professional evaluation will give you peace of mind and ensure he gets the best care.
