Yuck, Shots.... questions/concerns

Bumpd.... Anybody else with advice please? I just talked to my husband and the poor little guy is still miserable... Help! Please!

So, my poor poor DS yesterday got three shots and the oral vaccine for Rotavirus. Included in those shots was the flu shot. Yesterday during the day you would never know he had gotten them. He was an angel.... Perfect little happy guy. I put him to bed at 8:30pm (his normal bedtime) and at 9:30 he was up crying more and louder than I have ever heard him. I had to give him the rest of his nighttime bottle to calm him down and he didn't sleep good all night. He moaned and groaned and whined all night long. He was so restless. I don't think he slept longer than a solid hour. When I finally got him up this morning at 4:45 he felt really hot to me. I have been giving him Tylenol every 4-6 hours since yesterday. Does this sound normal for shots? I'm so worried about him.... Somebody please give me some advice....

Yes... after the last set of shots my one twin got just like you said.... my other twin went into the hospital with 105.4 fever..... all because of the shots!

Your poor little guy I have never given that many shots at once and I have never had that kind of reaction to deal with but I just wanted to give you some

How old is your little boy?

Re: Yuck, Shots.... questions/concerns

I'm not sure how old your DS is, but I do remember that at one set of shots for my DS (I think it was his 4 month shots? not sure), he was absolutely MISERABLE for days afterwads.. and normally he tolerates shots VERY well..

There is always the chance of crankiness/fever after they get their shots.. sounds like your little guy is having a tough time, but it also sounds normal. If it continues for a few days,though, I would call your ped just for peace of mind.

I'd say DD was worse the day after she got her shots than the day she actually got them. She was a mess the next day and it was a real project to finally get her to fall asleep. She seemed to come back around a few days after the shots.

Re: Yuck, Shots.... questions/concerns

the fever lasted almost 3 days only going down to 103 then finally went away.. as for the other baby it was like a day and a half then it was back to normal
