Need some help ladies!

My 10 week old son has been fussy since about 5:00 pm, his auxillary temp was 96.4 and his rectal temp is 97.5. He feels cold and clammy, normally he usually feels to warm to me but definitely not tonight. Should I be concerned? This is my first child so I'm a little worried...

Also, he had his first shots this week...

if he just had his shots it could be that, my son always got a little fussy after shots. I gave him baby tylenol and it helped alot.

Hopefully that's what it is...
I'm just a paranoid first time mom...must be nice to be a dad...my hubby's upstairs snoring away as I frantically bounce between checking on the baby and searching online for info...

Yeah, men are good like that!
Have u tried giving him any infant tylenol yet? I'm sure that it will kick in, in about 30min and he will be a lot more calm..

aw, I know its hard to watch them like that and not be able to tell them whats wrong. It won't be the last time you feel helpless when they are sick. Just comfort him the best you can. If he isn't better by morning I'd call his Ped.
Good Luck!
