Shots..can I do anything for the pain?


Marley got a jab today, and he was doing o.k. until about 30 minutes ago, he has been screaming and crying every time he moves the leg that got jabbed. What can I do, if anything, to ease his pain??

Poor baby

Infant Mortin or Infant Tylenol is okay. Hope it helps.

yeah, I gave him some infants Tylenol, but he ended up choking some back up, so maybe got half the dose? He is still asleep, thank goodness because he didn't have a decent nap ALL day When he wakes up I'll give him another half. So far it's worked a treat!!

Tylenol is good but most doctors prefer Motrin as it works faster. If he is still hurting later I would use that! Hope your LO feels better!
