fever after shots? How long does it last?
DD had 2 shots on Friday evening at her well visit and has had a fever ever since. How long does this last?
I took her to the ped on Saturday and nothing else is wrong. I've been giving tylenol and motrin

DD always gets a low grade fever 2 days after and it lasts about a day and half or so.

Ditto, and that was with her 8 week shots. 
How high is the fever? If it's low grade and your DD doesn't seem to be uncomfortable, you don't need to give Tylenol at all.

Saturday morning it was 103.9 and this morning it was 103.7.
Before I put her to bed it was 101.7 (last dose of tylenol 3.5 hours before and motrin 6.5 hours before).
She just woke up and when I went in she was very warm. I'm hoping it's on its way out

IMO I don't think it's vaccine related... I think those fevers would be lower. What did the ped test for?
