  • Advice needed!!!

    Wednesday, July 16, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    Hi all,
    We are taking the kids for their first shots tomorrow....I am wondering if I should give them Tylenol before or after they have them?  Someone told me to wait until after because Tylenol can mask a fever....have any of you heard this?
    I am so nervous for them and hopeful that they won't be too painful....they will be getting only 2 each as my ped does not give more than 2 at a time...
