is it normal for a baby to get a fever after shots? Elliott had her 4 month checkup and now is running a temp of 101.2. Should I call the on call doctor or is this normal? I just gave her some Tylenol and she seems fine otherwise.
I'd give her Motrin just because in my experience it takes Tylenol more than one does to cut the fever. My son had the flu and pneumonia and his fevers were high for 3 days and we were using Tylenol at first and it wouldn't go down at all. We used the Motrin and literally 10 min after the meds he would cool down and sweat so we knew from that day forward only Motrin for fevers.
