Giving Tylenol before shots?

Question

Who has given Tylenol to babies before their routine shots?

Answer

I think they recommend waiting until after shots, as you don’t want to mask a vaccine reaction with Tylenol.

Answer

Why would you give him tylenol? They don't need it, unless you see them in pain or they get a fever, which is rare.

Answer

Never give tylenol before shots. It decreases your immune response that can also decrease the shots effectiveness. It can also increase some of the risks and also mask reactions that the child may have. You can give tylenol after shots once the dr has made sure that the baby is fine and there have been no serious reactions.
