A lot of babies get fevers after their shots. Give him some tylenol and if it doesn't go down or if you cannot get him to stop crying go straight to your nearest emergancy room

He's building up immunity to the shots. Fever is a sign that he's fighting it off. Give him some tylenol (call doc about dosage- it won't be on the package), and repeat every 4-6 hours as needed. My son was fine with his 2 month shots, fine at 4 months, but was very cranky with his 6 month imm's. Just depends. Also, if you're breastfeeding, that may help to calm him and process the shots faster.

You should have gotten a info sheet about the shots he recieved. Also, a sheet with instructions for giving him tylenol to soothe and comfort him. I'd recommend the tylenol and then some snuggling. Babies need that - big time. It helps them cope with all the new things they are experiencing. I vaguely remember my oldest getting his 4mth shots and crying for like 8 hours straight. Then they told me I should have given him Tylenol.
Good Luck.

Whooping cough has an tremendously different sound. it truly is compared to any favourite cough. i'm positive in case you log on you'll come across sound clips of it to study your sons cough to or perhaps as uncertain it actual would not damage to have him regarded at. Going to the ER may be somewhat drastic yet I see not some thing incorrect with taking him to the pediatrician.

Sounds pretty normal give some panadol but if it gets any worse go straight to the E.R. No point in messing around

It really is normal depending on what shot he got. Did he have the DPT? Because if he did this is not unusual symptoms.

he might be building up immunity to the vaccine that happens when the body is working on foreign substances
