Needles or teething?

Question

My son had his 6months needles 2 days ago (the dtp and the pneumococcal) and today he has been grumpy, pulling at his ear and not wanting the dummies that he usually like and not sleeping. He doesn't have a temp. Do you think its a mild reaction to the needles or do you think he is teething...

u can never really tell with infants aLTHOUGH I HOPE ITS NOT BOTH IF IT IS POOR THING but wat u can do is give him a small amount of infant tylanol if it is shots or teeth the tylanol will take care of both and in a couple of days if it goes away then u know it was the shots if it doesnt and prsists then u no thos teeth r coming in so start frezzing those teething rings hell enjoys gumming on those lol as long as he doesnt have a fever then he will be fine a little bit in dicomfort but thats where the infant tylanol will help him!!!

pulling at the ear sounds like a ear infection
