well she'll be 4 months on the 23rd so 0.4 i dont think is enough for tylenol the doctor told me 0.6 and 0.8 if she had a high fever i just know that alternating between the two seems to be what alot of people have done and i dont know how much motrin because i was never told so i guess that would be my other question

It's to be expected. I'm sorry I couldn't get this message to you earlier, but maybe we can save some pain in the future.
Do NOT get vaccinated.
A vaccinated person is MORE likely to get a disease than a non-vaccinated person. The whole theory of vaccination is flawed. It causes a weakening of the immune system thus making those who are innoculated more susceptible to disease.
There are so many awful side effects to vaccination that it should be considered extremely dangerous.
Just sit back and think for a while.
Is there any sense in injecting a disease directly into the bloodstream.
We have been subjected to an awful mind control program to enable the drug manufacturers to make a fortune.

First of all, you shouldn't give a baby under 6 months old Motrin. For now, just stay with the Tylenol. It's based on weight. What does the back of the bottle say? Go by that.
Secondly, how are you taking her temperature? If it's rectally, you should subtract one degree to get her actual temperature.
That being said, 101.7 isn't *awful*, but you don't want it to go much higher than that. If she has any other symptoms (vomiting, diarrhea, extreme fussiness, won't eat, won't sleep, etc.) call your doctor ASAP.

Always give tylenol about an hour before she's due to get her shots. Typically they always run a fever with immunizations. You should see it lower in the next couple of hours. Repeat the Tylenol if needed. The site is usually red and warm to the touch. That too will pass.

Normal, alternate tylenol and motrin every 4 hours, or 3 to 4 hours if temp hasn't come down. Some babies will run temp. every time they get shots. My 4 year old didn't until he had his shots for school in August. Good luck. Makes us feel as bad as they feel.

That sounds just right. My youngest runs a small fever after all immunizations. Just give the Tylenol for pain, and keep checking. Usually a short-lived fever, about 12 hours. Good luck!

she is probably fine, but call and let the pediatritian know. babies often run a temp after shots, that is totally normal. and usually if they are over 2 months, 101.7 is not considered too serious. your doc may tell you to give her tylenol; if the fever does not go down after giving the tylenol, or if it suddenly spikes, call the doctor again for instructions.

That is normal for when they get shots!! What I did before I took them to get there shots was I gave them tylenol. It helps out a lot!! That's what you sould do the next time they get their shot is give them medicine before you go. Just give her/him motrin or tylenol and they will be fine

That is normal for a baby who just had shots.0.4 for tylenol is how much she should take.Your doctor should have gave a chart that tells you how much to give a newborn.

that is normal for the temp to go up. If it goes 103 then call your dr. you can give her a warm bath, not cool as she might get sick from that. Or just having her lay there in a 1z where there is no draft. you don't want to trap the heat in. She will be fine in a couple of hours!
Congrats on the new baby!

a baby temp should not go past 100.4, you should call the doc sounds like she might need to be seen. Of course there is a chance temp goes up after shots, thats why they say give them and infant fever reducer when you get home.
