shots reaction

Ds had his 1 year shots on Monday and has been grumpy ever since. Up for hours at night and wont eat. Which was never a problem before. He only wants a bottle. That is all and when its empty he is pissed again. Any suggestion? Tylenol doesnt help neither do teething tablets i can see another bottom tooth he is normally sooo happy. Anyone elses lo react like this to these shots?

Not exactly.  LO does get very grumpy and sleepy.  Her biggest reaction is a high fever.  She always spikes a fever around 102-103 for some reason.  We've tried giving her tylenol right before her appointment but it doesn't really help.  It usually passes after 24 hours, which is good.  But it stinks that I always have to take the whole day off from work when she has a doctor appointment so that I can give her cold baths and monitor her temp all day...

What shots did LO get? My DS got the MMR/Varivax/flu vaccine and typically has a reaction to the previous combination, but didn't have anything- not even sleeping more or fussiness- this time. 

I would also try ibuprofen- I pre-dosed him a few times, just in case, but it works far better for vaccine reactions (and teething!) than tylenol. It helps to reduce the inflammation (the source of the pain), so it helps in two separate ways for pain relief. 

Hope he is better soon!
