Temperature drops after the medication is administered. Now he is not showing any interest in taking food, and his tongue is whitish and lips are reddish .

This fever is unlikely to be due to the vaccine. Usually we expect the fever to subside within three days. If he has not improved you need to see the doctor again. The doctor will decide whether any investigations are required.
