At 17 months of age Aidan was diagnosed with a neuropathy which caused weakness of his left leg. The condition was treated with a 2-week course of prednisone and ibuprofen. He still has some residual weakness in the leg. He has no other medical problems.

Required:
Was the fever caused by the vaccines? If so, which vaccine was responsible?

Answer:

Yes, both

Step-by-step explanation:

So this is kind of tricky, because prednisone gives you a fever sometimes, usually if your a female over the age of 60+ , but its still possible to get a fever at a younger age.

ibuprofen does give you a fever but that is only because it is specialized to prevent fevers and sicknesses that may enter your body.

So really, both vaccines do give you a fever.

Try to be more specific next time and say if the effects were bad or not because,

bad effect: predisone, may give you a fever but usually taken at the age of 60+.

good effect: ibuprofen, prevents sicknesses and diseases from entering your body.

But if we were to talk in reality, ibuprofen would be responsible for the fever, because i doubt that you give a 17 month year old prednisone.
