encephalitic cry = DTaP scream?

Anyone here anything about this?

I must admit, I feel like a bad mother . I've heard arguments back and forth on vaccinations, but I don't feel like I had enough information to not get him vaccinated. 

Reading about this has terrified me; especially because he has been screaming all day and night.

Does anyone know about this??

Did he just have his shots today?  It's overwhelmingly common for babies to be fussy after their two-month shots.  I don't think it means his brain has swelled.   

Have you tried giving him Tylenol?

LOL I know! I shouldn't have stated it like that. I don't think his brain has swelled, I'm just guilty of not doing all of my immunization homework

No, his shots were on Monday. And he's been pretty well his normal self up until today. That's why I'm a bit concerned...

Immunization side effects subside after 48 hours... If he's fussy now, it's not related.  Could be a growth spurt, or maybe he's just not feeling well?  Not to mention, sometimes babies just cry for no good reason.    Either way, I hope he's feeling better soon.
