urgent advice
Hey mamas!! My baby got shots yesterday and has been running a 102 temp. I've been giving her tylenol, skin to skin, breast feeding. Any advice on bringing it down. She's also really snotty. I feel helpless. Any any tips or advice is appreciated!

Well how many times have you given her tynol and it not come down?
If it continues and you can't get it to come down I would call her Dr.
Try a cool rag on forehead, but what your doing should be bringing it down, skin to skin will keep her temp high to cause she is Up against your body heat.
It should definitely be coming down with tynol.

And she may have a little cold if she is snotty so that on top of it may not be bringing it down like it should!
Did she have a snotty nose before shots?

I've given it 3 times. Midnight, 6 am and 2pm. I called the pediatrician this morning, and they said it's gotta run its course. That it's still not concerning. I hate seeing my baby so miserable

What has to run its course, the shots?

Skin to skin in a Luke warm bath, helps!!!Being skin-to-skin with baby in a lukewarm bath will assist in cooling baby off gradually and will prevent from getting too cold too quickly. breastfeeding, nurse around the clock Breastmilk has antibodies

Yeah. She said it's her body fighting off the vaccines and she could run fever for 36 hours. Sigh..
Oh I'll clean my tub and try that out! Thanks for the tip!

My kids pediatrician always tells me to not give Tylenol after vaccines since it could counteract the vaccines (not sure if that's true, he's old school) and if they were to run a fever then give them a nice bath to help them feel comfortable. Another pedi in the same office told me I could give Tylenol if they started a fever so I do both lol .. If she has a stuffy nose you could give a nice bath followed by some baby Vicks rub too!
Hope she feels better soon!

Thank you! Yeah my dr says no tylenol before shots. And then told me if she spiked to give her some. I waited til it was over 101 . Her temp is slowly dropping. It's 100.7 with tylenol in her body. Bless. I feel so bad for her.
