Fever after shots

LO had his 4m vaccinations today. He now has a fever of 101.7 and his appetite is lower than usual. He didn't react like this to his 2m shots. Wondering what is considered normal as far as fevers after vaccinations. How high of a temp, how long does it typically last, etc before we should be concerned.

Re: Fever after shots

  • Fevers are common after immunizations. Have you given LO any tylenol?

  • That's a normal reaction, fever can last a few days.  I would try to hold off on giving your LO any Tylenol though unless they really need it for comfort (fussy is normal though).  This is their natural immune response reacting to the vaccine.&n
