Pain Meds Before Shots

 

We are bringing our son in for his 2-month check-up and immunizations next week.  Should we give him Tylenol (or other generic pain reliever) just before the appointment or wait until after the shots, if needed?

I recommend you purchase infant tylenol or generic infant acetaminophen and bring it with you to the appointment. After he is weighed we can help you give him and accurate dose.
