Why do I have a fever after my flu shot?
Immunizations depend on the body's immune system to respond. Part of this response can be local warmth or redness, mild malaise, or even low-grade fevers. OTC medication usually helps with the symptoms, and they are usually transient. If they last more than 24-48 hours or get progressively worse, get checked out. READ MORE

Other foods you could consider are fish such as mackerel and salmon, and shellfish. Many foods such as breakfast cereals are B12-fortified, so look for that on the label as well. READ MORE

The presence of wheezing, palpitations, dizziness, or other symptoms could provide more information, but a checkup focusing on this issue would be advisable. READ MORE
