What can I give my baby to drink to prevent fever before she goes for her vaccine jabs?

[P4nic]

I heard barley drink and rice water? Is it ok for a 2 month old to take?

[keefu]

I dont't think there are ways to prevent it...

I heard of giving barley or pao seng drink BUT I didnt cos I dont feel there is a need to and even my mum said no need to give anything before vaccine. anw even baby gets fever after the vaccine, will be very mild one lik 37.8 or 38 and will subside within 2days.. no worries.. =)

I think there isn't really a need to prevent it. After all a fever after a vaccine is just the body's reaction to it, perhaps an adjustment of some sort. It's a mild fever which can be treated with some baby panadol at home.

Besides, not all babies will get a fever after a vaccine. My daughter never had fever after her vaccines in her first year, only had fever once after her MMR jab.

I gav barley before it doesnt work... So I think it will b better if you dont bother giving anything!

I didn't give my boy anything special, he was exclusively breastfed (didn't even drink water) until 6.5 months old.
After jabs, his temperature was usually raised by 1 degree but no fever.

Even if there's slight fever, it's the body fighting and is a good sign. Relax and all the best!
