Fever of 1,2 y.o child after vaccination

Hello, son of my friend was vaccinated last Monday 7 days ago, he is 1,2 yo and he has 38,8 fever for 2 days. I attached the name of the vaccine, so sorry I have only Italian name of the vaccine. Any recommendations ? Thank you so much as always 🙏

    Hi @iryna_klevetenko – it’s common to get a fever following vaccination as a side effect, especially in younger children, which is generally a sign that the body is fighting what was injected and hopefully building immunity against it. Unfortunately, they add adjuvants to vaccines to get the body to react – that’s the not so great part.

    If the fever increases to 39 or above, persists beyond 3 days, and the child seems out of it, definitely take the child to see a doctor right away.

    If the child is alert, responsive and not too lethargic, the best support is to help the immune system recover. So lots of rest, staying well hydrated (water or breastmilk if still breastfed), and lukewarm water to gently sponge their body if they seem uncomfortable.

    While the conventional recommendation for fevers post-vaccination is to give ibuprofen / Tylenol, that’s actually one of the worst things to do since it depletes glutathione even further. Dr. Elena Roumell discussed this in her presentation HERE (slides are attached at the bottom – check slides 15-17), and suggests glutathione pre & post vaccination as a way to support their little bodies.
