Is it normal to have a mild fever of 99.9°F and a sore arm the day after getting the Covishield vaccine, even after taking Combiflam, and what steps should I take next?
Yes, experiencing a mild fever of 99.9°F and a sore arm the day after your Covishield vaccine is completely normal and a sign that your immune system is working. Even after taking Combiflam (ibuprofen/paracetamol), mild symptoms can temporarily persist. To help you feel better, continue to rest, drink plenty of fluids, and apply a cool, damp cloth to your sore arm. You can continue with the medication as advised by your doctor if discomfort persists. These symptoms typically resolve within two to three days. However, if your fever rises significantly or symptoms last longer than three days, please consult your healthcare provider.
