After receiving the measles vaccine, if a fever occurs, carefully monitor for any other symptoms of discomfort and promptly measure body temperature. If no other adverse symptoms are present and the temperature remains below 38.5°C, ensure adequate rest and apply physical cooling measures. However, if the fever persists for an extended period or additional adverse symptoms develop, seek medical attention at a hospital promptly.
