I took him to doctors 2 days after vaccination as he seems to be in pain,crying all day and just wanting mummy cuddles,is it normal to last a week?
the doctor seemed to think i was overreacting as he said just keep going with panadol, i even asked the chemist who said the same thing.
He is eating and drinking well

totally normal in fact i'm surprised hes acting worse! most kids get sick just from vaccinations or cutting teeth but both is absolute misery for a child. popsickles, cold baby dill pickles (my kids loved these when they were teething) frozen teething rings, or pretty much anything they can chew on will help. have patience cause this will last until hes done teething, all you can do make him as comfortable as possible and find ways for the two of you to relax together. read stories, find a fun kids vidio to distract him with, play kids music for him go for walks etc.. GOOD LUCK!

Vaccinations can cause pain for a little while. Also, teething can last for days or weeks! It's fairly normal and nothing to worry about.
However, if your gut tells you otherwise, take him back to his doctor, or another doctor. You have to go with your gut and don't let doctors make you feel you are crazy. You have to look out for the best interest of your son even if it causes annoyance in your doctor...he gets paid for a reason!
I do think it's nothing to worry about. Just wait a day or two more and see if it goes away.
Good luck!!!! And just be patient with him. Cuddle him if he wants it b/c soon...he'll grow out of it and you'll wish you could have it back! :)

Yeah, I'd say it's normal for vaccines to cause some troubles for about a week...has he had runny poo as well?
Add normal vaccine woes on top of cutting teeth and you've got a very unsettle little darling...hope he's back to normal soon! Just keep giving cuddles and try to make him as comfortable as possible. It's when he goes completely off food and drink or runs a very high temp that you need to worry.

I think it's normal. It takes a while for the teeth to come in and sometimes they are just NOT happy until they do. Do the best you can and good luck, it should be over soon.

OraGel for the gums is a life saver! It contains a mild anesthetic that takes the pain away for a while and lets them sleep. It doesn't take long for them to stop being painful, a few days.

My guess is it would be the teeth. If he doesn't have a fever I wouldn't worry. Well, I would worry if it were my kid, I'm just saying, there probably isn't a need to!!!
