Worried

lil guy went for his vaccinations on mon noon. develop fever in the night, fluctuating between 37.7 - 37.9. mummy knew it coming as he did have fever for 1st dose as well.

sponge him and continue to monitor the whole night. It was tiring for mummy as she is concerned over the fever thus ask grandma to have her sleep while she monitor Zethan till 6.30am, going to bed when the temp is back to normal. The following day the fever return and fluctuate again thus after discussing with grandma, decide to give paracatemol and monitor which it return back to normal in the noon time.

His total feeds reduced from about 900ml to the current 700ml with much efforts in coaxing to achieve that. Feeds lengthen from the usual 20mins to finish till the current 1hr or more.

Now the thing is, it had been almost like 5 days since his vaccinations. For the intial few days, mummy though that it is not unusual for him to fuss over feeds and see a reduction as well. However just an hour ago, he scream and yell (very high pitch), coupled with super red face and big drops of tears before and amid feed. This is in particular when he's held lying down in the arms and automatically all actions will be activated!

Mummy is concerned if this is the post jabs usual symptoms or could it be tell tale signs that something is not right? Mummy is contemplating another trip to the PD again...
