My daughter ran a high fever after getting a vaccine shot. She ran a high (102-104) fever and it was an allergic reaction to the Pneumococcal shot. It was the only one that she received that day so I know that it was the reason. The injection site was also red, inflamed and raised which indicates an allergic reaction. My Pedi. said that we did not have to finish the schedule of this vaccine. The fever lasted 3 days. Those were the only symptoms that she had. I called the pedis. office and was told that she probably picked up a virus while at the office and to give her an over the counter decongestant and pain meds. The reason for the decongestant was b/c there was an upper respitory infection going around and they were guessing that she picked it up. So I followed their advice and then we had to deal with a reaction to pseudoephedrine. My dd was up for almost 24 hours straight b/c of the sensitivity to the o-t-counter meds. What a ride(lol). All that to say I have walked in your shoes and know how difficult the situations is for you. Keep up with the tylenol and ibuprophen. It will get better but keep calling your pedis. office and giving them an update on her. If your insurance company has a"live nurse" line call it! I do not know how many times that I have used that service!! It has saved me many a crying spell when I was able to talk to a nurse and get some quick answers or advice on what to do. And on the not of your husband leaving town and company coming tomorrow, the company is coming to see you and your kids and they will be completely understanding about what you have been going through the last couple of days. You after all are only one person and there is only so much that you can do in one day. Give yourself permission to take care of this and then try to get back to normal after the fever has gone away. You will feel better and you will be glad that you did. I hope this helps and does not offend that is never my intention. I just speak from having a situation similar. If you need someone to talk to you can pm me and I will give you my number. Praying that the fever goes away fast and praying for your strength.
