Tylenol after vaccines?
My pedi usually tells me after each vaccine if it is typical for a reaction or not after, but didn't this time. He must have forgot. His office is closed so I figured I would ask here.
My son is 3 months and had the dtap and hib vaccines today. He doesn't have a fever but is crying a lot, very fussy. Not usually like him.
Would giving him Tylenol be ok, or should I just hold out?

Re: Tylenol after vaccines?
Our ped said wait 12 hrs b/c it lessens the effect of the vaccine. I guess b/c the fever is the body fighting the disease and the Tylenol lowers the fever.
