My 4 month old had meningitis C and DTaP?IPV/Hib vaccinations few days ago. He is feverish now and slightl grumpy. Is it ok to give him Calpol or I should just let the fever go down naturally?...

give him the calpol. my ds is suffering a viral infection at the moment i tried to cut down on calpol and tried to get his temp down naturally but he ended up having i febrile convulsion. its just not worth trying to not give it to him. i learnt my lesson the hard way

Calpol is shown to reduce the effectiveness of vaccinations.
