Should I give my son Tylenol before or after vaccine shots?

Question

Answer

As a clinician... I'm all for pretreating.  If moms want to treat their kiddos, I always encourage pretreating, thus way pain/fever have a better chance of having minimal discomfort from the shots..... they can often spiked a fever, and instead of trying to get it down once it's already come on it's better to kind of nip it in the bud

Answer

I say after if needed most of the time my daughter did not need it I only gave it to her when she was really fussy afterward

Answer

My pediatrician always told us to give a dose about 20 mins before shots.

Answer

Neither. Unless he needs it. My son didn't ever take any and so far neither has my daughter.

Answer

Never before. If babe has a reaction the Dr needs to see it and cont be sure of it if you give Tylenol before hand.
