Fever usually kick in afternoon/evening, peak at night. Depend what time u took the jab. 37.5 and above u can give 1 dose according to the amt state by the nurse. Do note different baby weight differently have the amount different too. The nurse will told you already if you took at polyclinic, the fever should last more than a day. So if anything serious, because go back to let them check again. If 37.5 and below, just sponge her, or bring her for a quick bath and feed her water.

1) Fever kicked in at night after the vaccination in the afternoon. It shot up to 38.6. 2) It only went off on the 2nd night 3) Recommended to feed at 37.5. I was too slow and fever shot up. Other then, medicine, I used cooling pad for forehead and neck, sponging, cooling mat from Japan Home for lo to lie on, lemon essential oil and Epsom salt to bathe her on the next day, oil her with peppermint, lavender and lemon.

For my boy , the fever kicked in the second day , it lasted for the night and went off the next day in the late afternoon. I gave paracetamol twice when it was above 37.8, with 6 hours interval. I also sponged him continuously to cool him down.
