I need your help!!!

my son got his 2 month shots today and now he is crying non stop and feels warm to the touch and he really just seems like he is in a lot of pain... I looked up the tylenol for infants chart and I was just wondering if this is the right amounts to give him...

it says

11-16lbs= .8ml (my son is 14.6 lbs)

I just dont like using medicine but I want to make him feel better... I want to double and triple check that, that amount is right...


*editied* this is where I found the information: http://www.askdrsears.com/html/8/T089101.asp

i just went thru this two days ago. give him .8ml every 4 to 6 hours. my son was screaming too and warm. its common when they get their shots. the tylenol will help A LOT

try to avoid the site of the injections.. its hard when you pick them up but thats probably whats causing the crying..
i dont give my kids the recommended dosage. i give them just under whats recomendend.. dont ask me why Im wierd.. lol

If you aren't comfortable medicating him, I'd give hime half of what it says to give him. It will take the edge off.
Just keep taking his temp. It can get pretty high after they gets their shots.

Thank you ladies very much... I gave him some tylenol and I am just waiting, he has seemed to calm down already... it got kind of crzy with me crying and him crying and daddy getting mad (because he does when he is nervous) lol gee I cant wait for his 4 month appt... please tel me it gets better lol

no sorry it doesnt lol. Well after they are a little older it does but not when they are little.

yup it's ok to give him the drops. He will be able to relax a little once it's kicked in. My daughter's 4 month shots are nearing and I am not looking forward to them.........she had an ordeal with her 2 month shots.

Good luck mommy!

Did you give him any tylenol before the shots? I gave my son some 30 mintues before he got the shots and he did really well with them. Just a suggestion for next time if you didnt do it this time.
