Polio in Babies

Question by Noah Benjamin born 07/22/2009:
Is it ok to give my 3 month old all these medications? ?
I’m very worried about my 3 month old having to take all these medications.

He’s on Zantac for acid reflux. He had an Upper GI and definitely has it and has been up crying at night for 3-5 hours for the past 3 weeks. He went to his pediatrician and has gained lbs since his visit when he was 1 month old. So he upped his dosage from .08 ML to 1.6 ML. He also had his vaccinations yesterday and I was told to give him Infant Tylenol so he doesn’t get a fever. I was doing that until about 9 AM this morning, because I did not know how long I should give it to him. I noticed he had a fever of 100.5º F about 3 hours ago and gave him the tylenol. His pediatrician also said he probably has colic and told us to get gripe water. He’s not crying right now and I do not plan on giving him the gripe water unless he starts crying uncontrollably again, but I am worried about him having all these things in his body right now. He had the 5 in one shot, (DTaP, HiB and Polio.) the Hep B shot, and the rotavirus drink, he’s on Zantac and he’s on Tylenol. Should I NOT give him the Gripe Water if he cries or will it not make a difference? I was worried about the vaccines so his pedi scheduled the shot for meningitis his next set of vaccines.
I trust his pediatrician, but I am not sure if he was taking into account that he’s on Zantac and that he would be on Tylenol for the time being.
It does say it’s natural.
