try to give him tylenol before the shots it helps a lot because he will be calm this happens because the child defence mechanisim gets turned on because its a substance the child body does not recognize and it did not happe to your other children because everyones body responses differently..

It is absolutly normal. With my first son, he ended up in the hospital with the DTAP shot, so much that he has medical reasons not to finish the series, but all of my other children were fine. This last session with my youngest, he ran about a 101 degree fever for about 2 days after. He had never run a fever before that. Every child is different, even from shot date to shot date with the exact same shots. Good luck, just use tyleno, or motrin and he will probably be very fussy

Mild fever is a very common side effect. Most of the time the baby will get fussy also. Just keep an eye on him and make sure he doesent have an allergic reaction, such as very high fever, high pitched screaming, not breathing ect. He should feel better in a day or two.

You'd be better off calling the doctor to check, but I think it's fairly typical to have a mild fever after any inoculation. You're injecting a mild form of a virus into your system so your body can learn how to fight it, and it is the fight that causes a fever. It'd mild because the virus isn't strong. Call the doctor to make sure, and DEFINITELY call if the fever gets high.

It's normal for children to have a fever after shots. I use to give my children paracetamol half hour before taking them to get their shots and then another dose four to 6 hours the fist dose, then come the next day they're back to normal! But I'm no doctor or midwife, just a mother of 3 healthy children!

Poor baby. The vaccines affect some children differently than others. My son always ran a fever. I suspected the needles. They traumatize the muscle. I don't know why they have to go so deeply. Give baby a dose of Motrin or Tylenol for children. Also try a warm compress on the innoculation site. Baby should feel better by tomorrow.

Yes mild fever is a complication that is common. Monitor it and make sure your kid stays hydrated. If the fever gets worse or doesn't go away, bring him in.

My son did. Give him some tylenol. If it dosent go down with in like 4 hours then take him to the emergency room if it is over 102. degrees and it wont go down. If comes back with in the time your supposed to dose him again your doing fine.

After taking the shots your body reacts to the medicine. My daughter got her 6 months shots yesterday and she was fuzzy most of the night....some tylenol will aliviate the pain. In my daughter's case, lots of playing and bouncing...and a bottle of milk before...then she was out.
