Hello dear, getting mild fever is a documented side effect for covid vaccines. So do not worry much. Continue use of antipyretic drugs like t. Pcm 650 mg. If still not relieved. Get rt pcr done for covid. Start symptomatic management follow covid protocol and hygiene maintain hygiene and isolation. Start doing breathing exercises, steam inhalation and gargling hope I have briefly answered your query. Kindly do not self medicate, as it might be harmful for you. Take a balanced diet and adequate fluid intake. Practice relaxation and meditation techniques.

Hello as you took the vaccine it takes 2-3 days to get over the fever. So do not worry paracetamol that is been given by the vaccination center you can take that no need for other medicine. But you need to be cautious that you had no symptoms before the vaccination its important only take vaccine when you are healthy felling with no symptoms like shortness of breath, chest pain, fever, illness. You will be fine within 2 days. If still symptoms persist you must go for rtpcr testing immediately for that. So do not panic.
