After the
Shots
- Give your child acetaminophen
(Tylenol) drops every four hours the first day. Do NOT
give your child aspirin.
- After the shot, do something fun
with your child -- visit a park, the zoo, or a
friend
- For a day or two, your child's arm
or leg may be red or swollen where the shot was
given.
- A warm, damp cloth or a heating
pad may help reduce soreness.
- Frequent movement or using the
limb that has received the shot often reduces
soreness.
- Your child may have muscle aches
or a mild fever, or be fussy. These symptoms are
normal.
Call your health care provider
if:

rectal temperature over 105 degrees)
