worrying, Its starting to break I believe. The nurse told me to give her Tylenol every 4 hours for pain and temperature. New mommy I was told its 101 degrees but is that right?

Expected that your daughter will have fever after shots which can be as high as 100-102 degrees Fahrenheit taken orally .Rectal temperature should not be more than 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit. (My kids had usually had 1001-1001.5 when they had their vaccine. My youngest is due for his shot next week.) Don't worry, give Tylenol as what your doctor says. Give tepid sponge bath too. Let the child to drink or feed more if possible. Important thing also is to keep light clothes and cover over her to allow heat to go.
It will just be for a short period and on the next day or two it will usually go. It is a good sign that your daughter's body is reacting with the shot (vaccine) she had which means there is immunity reaction which is the main aim of the vaccine. ♥

HI there - anything above 39 degrees celcius is too high. Tylenol is good at breaking a temperature but suppositories work alot better and faster. Try getting some EMPAPED supositories from your local pharmacy - they can be bought over the counter and are not schedule drugs. I find that is the only thing that really helps when my little ones have high temperatures. You can use the tylenol at the same time.
Hope this helps xx

It could indeed just be teething, my daughter is guaranteed to get a nappy rash and loose bowels, combined with a high temperature when those teeth start cutting! Just keep an eye on the temperature though, if it doesn't go down then maybe seek some advice on lowering temp.

If your babies temp is 101 or below your baby is okay. If it gets above that- call your dr. and put a cool, wet wash-cloth on your baby. Dab the cloth all around her to help the heat come away from her body. Also- you can give your baby tylenol every 4 hours and motrin every 6 hours. A cool bath may also help your baby as well. Just remember- call your dr. if it's above 101. OH YEAH- and sleep when the baby is sleeping- it's going to be a LONG night.

My baby got a temp of 102.2 and I got worried after her shots...drove her to the ER-she was on fire, and very lethargic...By the time they took her temp,it spiked to 104.7 and I damn near flipped the f--- out!(new mom and all)-- I was worried about her permanent teeth showing discoloration, and brain damage,...but her condition was a side effect from the series of shots--Roseola is what they called it....A little virus one can get when the immune system is broken down a bit....It is characterized by the small red rash on the back.

101 is high... Please check his/her temp often. If your babies temp is at 100 or better for longer than a hour or to I would head to get help. You may try rubbing alcohol to slowly lower the babies temp.
DO NOT GIVE THE BABY DRUGS UNLESS ASKED TO BY A DOCTOR!
Take one damp face towel add two or more cap fulls of rubbing alcohol to the towel. Now use the towel to gently rub the baby down. A bottle of cool water has also been known to help. No more than 6 oz at a time thou.
Good luck.

My son just had his shots also, 100.4 is a temp, but normal temp after having shots. My doc told me not to be concerned unless it got to 102. This is because they know the cause of the temp if your child is healthy and just had there shots. An infant fever reducer will do. Don't be to alarmed.

well the human body's average boy temp is 98.9. 99 is a low fever. and 101 is a slightly high fever but when it hits 101 you should take action. just keep giving her the tylenol and if it rises instead of going down, then she might be sick.

new mom, right?
this is what you want to do. dress her in light clothes and cover her with a sheet. if its around bath time give her a luke warm bath (even if its in the middle of the night it might make her feel better). apply cool rage to her forehead. alternate between tylenol and motrin. this is normal after shots, trust me. i had 2 in a row. my son is 1 and my daughter is 2. if you call the dr they will tell you the same thing. if she is still running a temp tomorrow i would go ahead and call the dr, just to be safe. like i said though, this is normal hun.
hope this helps?

It is usual for shots to make people ill.
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.

You will find all the forms necessary to provide exemption for your child.
