Hello,

The symptoms of your son seem to be related to side effects of the vaccine. These side effects are normal and will go away in a few days.

I suggest using Paracetamol every four hours for the fever.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
