In most cases symptoms appear within the first two days, only in the case of the introduction of a live vaccine, they found much later. Temperature is a natural reaction of the body's response to the introduction of the pathogen of the disease, when there is a production of special antibodies. If the temperature does not rise above the permissible values ​​(should not exceed 38-38, 5 degrees), this reaction should not cause concern on the condition of the normal state of health of the child.
