Can I give my 7 month old son infant tylenol with amoxicillin?

He got his "last" dose of shots today and was found to have an ear infection as well. So he is currently teething, and has a fever on top of the ear infection and shots. Poor baby! Can I give him infant tylenol to help ease the teething and fever on top of the prescribed amoxicillin?

He got shots with an infection???

Thats a BIG no-no!

Find a new doctor, the one you have put your son in some serious risk. You should NEVER get any vaccinations while you are sick or have an infection... It's going to really overload his immune system.

Basically, they put substances (aluminum is one, i know) in vaccines to weaken the immune system so that the body will react to the virus in the vaccine. You poor baby got a double blow!

Don't give him tylenol... I know its hard, but it will be better for his system to work it out on its own. Tylenol is just one more thing the body has to fight against and filter out.

Give him probiotics to help with the anti-biotics and lots of love.

My little guy was super-sick this weekend, so I can empathize with you. It's so hard to see them that way.
