High temperature  

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
I was going through old medical journals and found out that my mother brought me in twice for high fever.
First time was 5 day's after my first diphtheria and tetanus vaccine at 3 months I developed 102.2 Fahrenheit, but I can also see that my older brother had the cold at the same time so I probably cached it from him, because I showed symtoms of cold. Second time was some week after my Polio vaccine at 10 months fever with 102.2 Fahrenheit but my mom says I catched the cold as I was in a cold swim pool. Off course the vaccinations could probably played a role with weakening my immune system making it easier for me to catch the cold, but my question is, is it common that temperature rises to 102.2 Fahrenheit or even higher for babies up to 1 year if we rule out a vaccination contrast cause?

Sure. Kids get fevers all the time.

That doesn't even sound like a high fever to me. Some kids just spike fevers, also. Vaccinations are often associated with fevers, but so are many other things.

You may have reacted to the vaccines but since it was 5 days and a week later I think it was due to other factors.

I agree.

That varies. Each child is an individual. Some kids get very high fevers, some don't. A fever is never a bad thing. I either is the healer or shows that the body is going through a healing phase.
102.2 is actually not considered a "high" fever. Most kids run a fever like that pretty quickly.
