Fever from vaccine?
Has anyone's dc gotten a fever from a vaccine a day or so later?
ds got his second pneumococcal conjugate vaccine Monday at about 4pm and woke up with a slight fever this morning of 100.4 and tonight it went up to 101.6.
He's acting kinda blah and was just wondering if it was maybe a reaction from the shot...
thanks

I go to my ped first thing in the morning and can ask them if this is common if you want! 
Hope that little cutie pie feels better soon!

My ped tells me when certain shots could cause a fever & when to expect it. He said to give Tylenol if it's under 102 & Motrin if it's over

Yes, after his 4 month shots, DS had a slight fever the day after. Gave him some tylenol and he was fine. Hope DS feels better!

Found this site that lists possible side effects from vaccines..
http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vac-gen/side-effects.htm
For this vaccine it says...Up to about 1 out of 3 had a fever of over 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit, and up to about 1 in 50 had a higher fever (over 102.2 degrees Fahrenheit).
It is most likely from the shot.
I hope Justin feels better soon!!!

yeah this was on the hand out the doctor gave me I guess I didn't realize that it didn't have to be instant, that it could take a day or two.
I gave him tylenol hopefully by tomorrow it will be gone!
Thanks everyone
