Fever after two month shots

my poor baby girl has a 102.3 fever the day after her shots. She feels so hot to the touch. I think I'm suffering more than her though!

    Poor baby! Did your doctor say anything about Tylenol? My DD had a slight fever and that helped a lot. Definitely ask your doctor if you haven't already!

    Yes. She could take the smallest dose since she is just nine pounds. The next morning she woke up perfectly fine.

    My MIL says she learned she had to give Tylenol before the shots or her son (my BIL) would fever and cry for about 24 hours.  She never had to do this for my husband when he was a baby but we have the Tylenol on hand to be safe.

     The nurse at our pediatricians office said not to give Tylenol before shots because it can change the effectiveness of the vaccines. She said only to give it after.

    I am so glad this thread is here! My lo got her 2 month shots today and is running a 101.0 degree fever right now. I'm a FTM and am trying not to worry, esp since that's apparently normal.. Just giving her the Tylenol and staring at her as she sleeps!
