and napping (which is something she usually doesn't do anymore) i have called her doc but it usually takes a few hours for them to call back is this normal there is no redness around the areas but they're slightly swollen and her legs are really hurting her she's usually tearing things apart and dancing and singing so i'm worried she usually never is bothered by any of the other shots she got so any input would be welcome thanks

4 shots at once is a lot, i personally am against vaccinations and i know everyone says 9 times out of 10 everything ends up being ok but what about the one time it doesnt? keep a close watch on her, and dont expect the doctors to tell you there is a problem, they will tell you it is normal and that she will be fine, but only you will really know if she is ok, follow your heart, if something doesnt seem right take her in immediately. I am not trying to worry you , i hope hope hope that she will be able to handle the large doses they put into her system, but vaccinations especially the combo shots done all at once have been linked to autism and other neurological disorders, please please please if you choose to continue vaccinating your daughter have the shots spaced out and save her the misery and yourself the worry.

Lethargy and nausea are generally NOT related to vaccines. She may have picked up a little virus somewhere along the way.
If there's a hard red lump around the areas where the vaccines were given and/or some tenderness and pain - that's normal reactions. Some kids also run a low-grade fever. Both of those things should dissipate over the next 36-48 hours. You can give a little Tylenol for discomfort, and if she'll let you - put a cool compress on the lumps.

likely the flu my 6 three hundred and sixty 5 days old had it over x mas.. First they concept she had a UTI and examined her and placed her on Bactrum then became out she began vomiting for 4 days!! Welll the UTI became not the area, she had the flu and it lasted about 2 weeks.. She had a fever of 104.6 on the utmost and we alternated with tylenol and motrin.. If the fever is quite extreme get some Feverall it really is a gel suppository and inspite of the actual shown actuality that unsightly to provide, it brings the fever down immediately. Have her drink white grape juice or gatoraide or pedialyte and quite some popscicles relax and coloring books and perchance new crayons. If the fever receives to at least one hundred and 5 take her to ER, even as my daughter became 14 months she had scarlett fever, a pink sandpaper rash throughout her body that itched like loopy her ferver spiked to 106 and triage took her rightaway and gave her antibiotics and steroids... be careful because extreme fever may reason everlasting heart damage and or mind damage, in basic terms watch her heavily and also you're her mom so trust your instinct, If something isn't acceptable then you genuinely get someone to take heed to you and lead them to see it your way.

I think it's pretty common even if she didn't react before. My nephews were always sleepy after their shots, or cranky. Once one of them got a shot and couldn't walk the rest of the day. You're doing the right thing by checking with the doctor. In the meantime, I wouldn't worry. Just watch her for a fever and let her rest as much as she wants. In a day or two, she'll be back to her playful self. Cheers.

The shots are probably just making her feel yuky! You should alternate tylenol and motrin every 4-6 hours. And make sure you talk to the doc, maybe she's coming down with something else like a cold or virus.

The purpose of the injections are to prevent diseases. To prevent these diseases, the immune system has to form antibodies against the disease antigen. The vaccines are the stimulus for forming antibodies and there will be symptoms like a low grade fever, lethargy, and stomach upset. If she is too uncomfortable or feverish you can give her childrens Tylenol and make sure she takes plenty of liquids. She should be her old self by tomorrow.

It is normal for children to have a mild reaction to thier shot and as long as they are mild this is ok. You can relieve some of the symptoms with childrens Tylenol. Continue trying to speak to you Doctor and only become alarmed if she gets a high fever, has difficulty breathing or shows signs of major swelling.

They used to say that the child might be off colour for a day or so after a jab. Mine used to be grumpy and tired so I dont think you need to worry, but make sure the doctor calls you back. Better safe than sorry.

Have you alternated giving her tylenol and motrin every 4-6 hours since she had the vaccinations? If not, go ahead and give her some. She will take frequent naps as her body is introducing the serum into her body.

This is normal, my daughter was the same way the dr. told us to give her tylenol and she would be fine the next day and she was.
