Baby won't stop screaming

Hi please help!! 😂 my baby had injections on Wednesday and was fine in the 48hrs after. It's now Saturday & the screaming is never ending. Is it normal for babies to be so irritable 3 days after? He's fussing over his bottle & I have to swap his dummy for his bottle quickly in order for him to feed. One minute he's laughing & consolable and next he's screaming and veins are popping out his head... I'm losing the will to live!!!

My baby was fine for the first day then the fussiness and crying came, I think it’s normal for them to be like this for up to 5 days after injections. I’m sure it has details in your red book about how long they will be affected for, or this may have been on a handout from the nurse when she did the vaccine but it said they can even be affected 6 weeks after like a rash can develop caused by one of the vaccines. The screaming will pass, just hang in there! Do be sure to keep a close eye on baby and check for fever etc.
