4 month shots

in August 2014 Moms
Lo had her 4 month shots on Monday afternoon and is still sleepy 36 hours later. When she is awake she teeters drowsy/happy/cranky. Is this normal? How long should it last?

How do I know if she has a fever? What symptoms should I look for? I do not think our thermometer works well...Any recs on those too?

    Use a rectal thermometer, it will give you a very active temp. My little guy feels warm to the touch (I use back of hand to his forehead) and usually have clammy hands. Make sure to put a little lub on rectal thermometer.

    Did you give any Tylenol when LO got shots? My little guy is tired for the rest of the day/ night but usually perks up within 24 hours. For his first round of shots he did swell up where they poked him.

    Hope this helps.

    We had shots yesterday at 1pm and she's been very sleepy today as well.

    But please remember that armpit temperatures (which is what I do) you have to add 1 (ie: 99.1 underarm would be a true temperature of 100.1). My LO had some swelling in the leg that he got the 2 shots in but not in the leg with the 1 shot. He was cranky and had a mild fever for 2 days. I did give him some tylenol for the night that he got the vaccines 1 time during the day after and then for that night after and then he didn't need anymore. Hope your LO starts feeling better soon!

    Thanks everyone! I feel much better about her reactions. She was back to"herself" after 48 hours :)
