Immunisations
Numerous years ago, most children had slight fever after their vaccinations, and it was often suggested that they have paracetamol around the time of the immunization. Since the vaccination has been altered (in particular the whooping cough vaccination), few children grow a fever, and it is no longer suggested that paracetamol or ibuprofen be provided at the time of the vaccination. Paracetamol or ibuprofen consumed before an immunisation will not put off the sharp sting of the real injection.
If a child becomes sick or has a fever soon after the vaccination is probable this is caused by something else, such as a cold or ear illness.
