For fever following the Japanese encephalitis vaccine, observe the child's body temperature and mental state. If the temperature does not exceed 38.5°C and the child remains in good spirits, it is not recommended to administer antipyretic medication. Instead, encourage the child to drink适量 warm water or fruit and vegetable juices to help alleviate fever symptoms. Generally, the fever will subside within about 2 to 3 days.
