Fever from flu shot?

cmw&tdm

We just got DS his flu shot this morning, and after his nap he was really hot.  I didn't do a formal temperature, but I have a temperature strip thingy that read low grade fever.

Anyone's DC have this reaction?  When should it subside?

We gave him tylenol, anything else I should do?

DS got a fever last year reacting to his first flu shot- it lasted maybe 3 or 4 days, a day or so at 102, going up to 104.8 (under the arm) at the peak & back down.  We alternated Tylenol & Motrin every 3 hours, lukewarm baths, cold drinks, just keeping him comfortable. 
It's not the first vaccine that he reacted to that severely though.  He is not getting the flu shot again this year...

My DS ran a low grade fever for a few hours the afternoon of his flu shot.  It went away after a few hours.
