A member asked:
What do you suggest if my newborn is going for her 6 week injections tomorrow, should i give her panadol (acetaminophen) before her injection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessary: It is usually not necessary to pre-dose before a vaccine. The pain is minimal, very short lived and there is no evidence the medication will help in this capacity.
