Vaccinations

Hi mummies. My LO went to get vaccination today. She’s 3months old. So basically she’s having fever now. We were given paracetamol. We were advised to give 4-6hrs only when her tmpt above 38. She’s 38.1 as of now. My concern is, do I give later in the midnight as per the 4-6hrs from her last intake or should not disrupt her sleep and just give her milk as per norm routine. Cause she cried badly when we gave her the Med earlier. Any advise?? My heart breaks seeing her crying inconsolably.

Don’t have to strictly give at a specific timing if baby’s sleeping well and the fever’s coming down. I would give before the milk feed so she doesn’t throw up the milk. If baby wakes up in the middle of the night and the temperature isn’t coming down, I would give the paracetamol again (if after 4hrs from the previous dose), do tepid sponging, feed and let baby go back to sleep after.
