COVID 19 : Most children handle COVID 19 well. If symptomatic, then symptomatic relief is usually all that is required. Rest, hydration, acetaminophen, & nasal saline irrigation may help mild symptoms. Get emergency care for difficulty breathing, blue lips or face, significant & persistent chest pain or new-onset of confusion.

I received my Pfizer COVID booster yesterday. Immediately after the shot, I felt sleepy. Today, over 24 hours later I developed a low grade fever. Is that normal to develop a fever more than 24 hours afterwards? I took 2 Tylenol for the fever?
