High temp after 16 week injections

[user1465146157]

i know this is normal - my DD had her 16 wk injections yesterday and has been a mixture of happy and grumpy so i'm confused.

She has a high temperature (37.7C this morning) and we had a lot of waking last night (more than usual)

Just wondering what I should be doing - as she's hot is she best wrapped up or dressed lightly?

I'm giving her Calpol - is it best before or after milk?

How long does this last after the injection?

Can I take her for a walk or is she best indoors?

Thanks

This is usual after vaccines give her calpol a little while before OR after bottle incase she spits it up and you can take her out it is fine. Sponge her down with a tepid flannel and if you are still concerned give your clinic a phone speak to whoever gave her the injections usually ime they are ok a day or 2 after but as I said if you are in anyway worried get her seen.

If she is hot don't wrap her up layers is best

The NHS advice is that untill they hit 38 degrees they are within the normal range so try not to worry too much (says me who worries over everything ), if it goes above 39 at her age phone 111. Also it seems very common for them to not sleep well or sleep more than normal after the injections.
Dress as normal for the weather where you are, definitely don't bundle her up, kids can't regulate their temperatures well so it wont help.
In my experience 24-48 hours, but temperatures can last up to 5 days without needing medical advice.
I always give Calpol before a bottle because my DD hates it with a passion so I use it to calm her afterwards. No idea if there is a better way.
If you take her for a walk try to keep her away from other kids just incase this isn't a reaction to the injections and she is coming down with something, otherwise the fresh air may do her some good.

The NHS have a page dedicated to treating fevers in babies and children here if you wanted to read. Hope she's feeling better soon

Please don't sponge down with a tepid flannel as it can cause the temperature to go higher. However 37.7 isn't that high. Give calpol of she's uncomfortable and lots if fluids. Yes you can take her out, whatever keeps her happy. You'll probably have a couple of days of grumpy and extra cuddles.

Oh god sorry my dds are older i didnt realise my advice was so outdated apologies

Thank you so much everyone for responding.

Ive read 'extra fluids' so by that do you just mean extra milk? she's not finishing her bottles at the moment

will see how it goes she's just moody at the moment

MrsJayy thank you no worries!

37.7 is only slightly raised so I wouldn't worry too much . She may be unsettled partly because her poor little legs are a bit bruised from the jab
