Babies: 3 - 6 Months

Shots & Fever

DD has been teether for a while, but hasn't really had the fever.  Yesterday she got her 4 month vaccinations, and DC just called to say her temp is 101.7.  She's going to give her tylenol, put her down for a nap, and keep a close eye on her.  I'm guessing it's from the shots, but should I call the pedi?  I don't have the handout that says when to call since I'm at work...

  • If the Tylenol works don't call; if it doesn't I would call.

    Agreed. Tylenol will most likely do the trick.

  • My pedi wants me to call if DS's temp is anything over 100.4. Since your daughter just got her shots a slight temp is to be expected if it doesn't come down in a couple of hours I would call your pedi.

  • Ditto on the Tylenol. DD got a fever of 102 the day after her 4 month vaccinations. Tylenol helped, but another thing is for you DCP to take off a layer of clothing too - if your DD is in a onesie and a sleeper take off the sleeper and use a cold cloth on her back, neck, and head. I found that really helpful.
