How do I know if my baby is in pain after shots?
It is common for babies to experience some discomfort or pain at the injection site after getting their shots.
Here are some signs to look for to determine if your baby is in pain after their shots:
-
Crying: Crying is a common sign that your baby is experiencing pain or discomfort. If your baby is crying more than usual or is inconsolable, it may be a sign that they are in pain.
-
Irritability: If your baby seems more irritable than usual, or is more fussy than usual, it could be a sign that they are in pain.
-
Redness or swelling: If you notice redness or swelling at the injection site, this could indicate that your baby is experiencing pain or discomfort.
-
Fever: A low-grade fever is a common side effect of vaccinations and can be a sign that your baby is experiencing pain or discomfort.
-
Loss of appetite: If your baby is refusing to eat or is eating less than usual, it could be a sign that they are experiencing pain or discomfort.
