xp: 4 month vaccines- HELP

Hi, my DD had her 4 month vaccines this morning and was extremely upset with all of it. She was practically hyperventilating at the Dr. office. When we got home, I nursed her and she took a nap. After she woke up she seemed to be in a better mood, but about an hour later she was crying inconsolably! She seems like her legs really hurt, but does not seem to have a temp. I gave her some tylenol, but she threw up everything in her stomach not much after that. She has now fallen back asleep. Should I give her more tylenol before the 4 hour window? Should I call the Dr.? She did not have this extreme reaction to the shots at 2 mos. HELP!

    The fussiness sounds normal (lasted the entire day with my kids, especially at that age) but I never experienced vomiting, though that may have just been as a result of the crying.  I would call your dr. just to be on the safe side.  Also ask them about re-administering the Tylenol.  If I were you, I'd give a round of infant's ibuprofen - That way you don't have to worry about giving too much of the Tylenol but you get some pain reliever back into her system.

    Ditto mamatojackson, the vomiting may have been due to crying so hard. I personally would hesitate to administer more medicine, and I would definitely call the doc just to be on the safe side (about the meds).

    The fussiness sounds completely normal though. Also normal: sleeping a lot, eating a lot (comfort nursing). Give her extra TLC for a little while. :)

    Thanks! She has been napping now for a while, so hopefully that will help. I called, but the nurse said not to redose and they do not rec ibuprofen for babies under 6 mos :( I will try a nice bath for her when she wakes up to try to reduce the pain and redose at 7. I just could not believe how upset she was over it all :(
