I just wanna get some reassurance. My baby is four months old. 9.12 ozs and got shots today. She’s running a fever of 102. I gave her 1 ml of Tylenol. I really just wanna double-check.

Completely normal. If it hits 103+ I’d call the pediatrician or take her into the ER just to be safe. But it’s absolutely normal. Should break within a few hours.
It is 100% normal for a fever, but not that high. Please get the little one seen and do not listen to any of the anti vax nutcases because they want unhealthy children.
The doctor should of given you a paper. But yes it’s normal. Just monitor her. If it gets to high, take her in. Like warm bath helps. Motrin and Tylenol. Alternate back and forth. Unless that’s changed

Yes and I think you’re undernedicating. Call your child’s pediatrician so that they can give you the correct dosage

Yes, it’s normal. In the future be sure to give your baby Tylenol or Motrin about 30 minutes prior to going for shots. It will stay in front of the fever, so it won’t be as high. It’s normal, it will subside soon.

Yes it happens just keep a cool wash cloth close and dab the wrists or the neck.
Rise in temp yes. Fever not really. 102 is high. If Tylenol doesn’t lower that then call the dr.
Yes it’s typical. I give mine Tylenol about an hr before the shots every single time!
Yes it’s normal. Next time give her Tylenol about 30min to an hour before she gets shots.

Yes make sure she is drinking her milk and that she is wetting her diapers. Keep an eye on her temperature.And check to see if her leg is red or swollen where she received their shot .Call the doctor’s office they will have the on call doctor call you back so you can talk to them and answer your questions.
Yes, fever can be a normal immune response after vaccines. She can have 1.25ml of Tylenol every 4-6 hours. (No Motrin until 6 months old). You can also try a luke warm bath and keep baby undressed. If the fever gets higher than 104, she becomes inconsolable for more than 3 hours, or low grade fever lasts more than 3 days you should get her seen.

My daughter at her 9 month visit, had her 3 shots. For a week, she had spiking fevers of 100-102. We did Tylenol and ibuprofen per doctor and also brought her in after a couple days of it only getting worse and my missing out on work. They did the works of covid testing, flu, strep, anything you could think of snd it was a reaction to one of her shots. So at her 1 year appointment we did her shots, one at a time and she didn’t have any type of reaction at all.

It is not normal, it is common. Please listen to baby’s body and dont administer any more vaccines. Please do not give Tylenol either. Tylenol makes it harder for baby’s body to detox the vaccines.

Definitely call your doctor
Temps are common after shots. But you should call a nurse at the very least and get an opinion they will ask you some questions. Personally, if you are worried take baby in to see the dr. Listen to your mama instincts. If it feels off to you never hurts to double check with a doctor.

My son is vaccine injured & I gave Tylenol for everything. I have researched a lot to it. To each their own but I would highly suggest not to use Tylenol anytime before, during and after shots. Acetaminophen opens up the blood brain barrier allowing all those vaccine ingredients through to the brain. Acetaminophen also depletes glutathione which is your body’s own antioxidant in the brain. Without that it can lead to brain inflammation and brain injury.
I would give epsom salt baths (to pull out the toxins and heavy metals) colloidal silver (for fever) and and research the ingredients if you haven’t.
Keep close eye on baby especially during sleeping time. We went to the ER and all they gave was Tylenol for both our sons’ high fevers.

Check with their doctor but my daughter always has
Yes it’s normal. Give baby a Luke warm bath and see if that helps. You can also give Tylenol. If the fever hasn’t broken by tomorrow morning you can take baby to urgent care to be looked at
Please call Pediatrician. Never get medical advice on FB, especially for your babies!!!

A low grade fever is common, 102 is a bit high. I’d be calling someone with a medical degree.

Pediatric nurse here….Fevers after vaccines is expected. Its the immune response activating and creating those antibodies. Your baby is 9lbs (4.090kg). Tylenol dosage is 15mg/kg. Tylenol concentration is 160mg/5ml. Your baby needs approx 61mg = 1.9ml
Hope this helps!

Mmm I’d check with a doctor, no children are the same. 102 is pretty high, 103 they need medical help as quickly as possible. Call 811 (or whatever telehealth is available in your area.) When ever I’m in doubt I call 811 and they are incredibly helpful. When it doubt talk to experts.

Note to add none of my babies had an experience to shots like that and every baby is different just please watch her through the night it might go down or it may spike up you never know, I never knew a fever could trigger a seizure but I was wrong that night
Some fevering is normal after getting shots but for a baby under 6 months that’s too high he or she can have what’s called febrile seizures due to his or her fever being at 102
Yes it is normal. They say you should give them Tylenol before they go and get their shots.

My oldest son had a fever after his shots when he was a baby, I took him to the ER and all they did was administer Tylenol and send us home. He ended up actually being sick with RSV but the other symptoms had not started yet.
The only vaccination that has caused a fever for my son was MMR.
With that being said I would keep a close eye on her and if the fever lasts for more then 24 hours from time of the shot call your doctor.

Totally normal but it’s shouldn’t be too high. You know you’re child better than anyone, to if you think something isn’t right call the doctor put yourself at ease. Tylenol or Motrin will bring it down and lots of Mommy cuddles too.
Yes the same thing happened to my baby. Tylenol every 4 hours.
Yes but if it gets any higher i would call your pediatrician my almost 3 year old son was miserable after every single dosage of baby shots and ran fever for atleast three days afterwards my daugther whos almost 2 was fine until her 1 year old shots she ran a fever for two days after those but i think it may have been her flu shot everytime i get the flu shot i get ill and my 7 month old ran a fever his last round but every other time before that was fine
Yes and expect some fussy moments and baby may get a little clingy, too. All normal, just keep baby’s fever down, well hydrated, and rested. May last about 24 hours or so.
Yeah just keep an eye on them. Lots of cuddles. Hugs to you mama!
