When my son gets his shots I give him tylenol before but thats because I know he's gonna be in pain. I know my son wasn't in pain.. he's just been crabby because we're both sick. But I'm not gonna give him ibuprofen everytime I think he's in pain, because he might not even be in pain.

My mom and mil were trying to get me to give my son Tylenol after his shots when he showed no sign of discomfort or fever. I waited until he had a fever and he only needed two doses. I'm like I know my son and I know when he needs medicine but I'm not gonna give it just because.
