Brief Answer:
Give him acetaminophen syrup

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to the HCM

I completely understand your concerns but don't worry. Continuous cry after 14 weeks vaccination is most likely due to pain and anxiety. Give him acetaminophen or ibuprofen syrup at recommended dose. Repeat it after 6-8 hours if required. Apply ice over the injection site in a soothing manner to relieve local inflammation.

Also, sooth him by gentle cuddling, rocking, music and talking to him.

Hopefully this will help you.

In case he continues to cry for more than 3 hours in spite of above management, immediately contact your pediatrician. It can be rare adverse reaction to the vaccine.

Take care

Brief Answer:
Domstal drops

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Many a times due to gastric reflux, babies may vomit. It occurs also due to aerophegia while feeding. I would recommend you to give him domstal drops for vomiting. Also, burp him properly after each feed for 3-4 minutes and keep him in head end up position thereafter while lying.

Give him regular feeds. Do not wait for more than 4-5 hours interval.
Hopefully this will help you.

Brief Answer:
Don't worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Don't worry. Leaving XXXXXXX phone once or twice near baby doesn't expose him much to the radiations. It won't affect him. Take care in future.
