anything over 37 is considered high, (Australian measurements) i'm not sure what the tremperature might be on your side of the world.
its totally normal for your baby to get a bit of a temperature after getting shots, try giving her some panadol or tylanol to keep her fever down, thats what my Dr told me

99 to 101 is considered a low-grade fever. Go to the ER or the pediatricians office if: 1. You give meds and the fever keeps coming back or 2. The fever get's higher, like 102.
FYI. Give the kid a dose of tylenol or kid's motrin right before the shots or immediately after. (unless, of course, you are advised not to.)
When in doubt, call the nurses hotline. You can't replace your child.

As a mom, any time your child's temp is above normal, don't be embarrassed to call your doctor! Usually children do get a low grade fever (one to two points higher) after getting shots. If you are concerned,call the doctor! in the meantime cool your child down with a cold compress, not freezing, just run cold water over a washcloth and apply to forehead.

If I remember correctly, I was supposed to call the doctor if my baby's temp got over 101 and I couldn't get it down within an hour or two. But to get it down fast give motrin and tylenol at the same time, then after 4 hours rotate between the two every 3 to 4 hours starting with tylenol.

Really depends on babys age. If her tempature exceeds 101 w/ pain relever/fever reducer like infant tylonal or infant Motrin page her doctor or take her to the ER

The normal tempreature would be 37Celcius. Anything above that should keep you busy sponging the child or the child might run the risk of having a fit which could lead to brain damage.

In a new born to toddler, 37.2 is considered normal,
37.3 is considered a low grade temperature.Anything higher than 40 is seen as dangerous.
