Brief Answer: Get him vaccinated after his birthday. Detailed Answer: Hi, Thank you for getting back. There will be mild pain and fever after vaccination for 24 to 48 hours. These can be managed by paracetamol. You can get him vaccinated after his birthday celebration to avoid slight inconvenience which is caused by the vaccines such as fever and pain. He can be given two vaccines at a time as advised by your pediatrician and the cost is near to my estimation as I mentioned in the previous answer. Growing pains are common in some children around this age. Usually they present at night when the legs are in resting state. The home remedy for growing pains are to massage the legs gently and ask the child to move legs which will give relief from pains. If the pains are moderate to severe, you can give him ibuprofen in prescribed dose. Give him a very much balanced and nutritious diet and you can add ghee or edible oil to his diet to make it more calorie dense which will help to gain weight. Give him foods made of ground nuts and jaggery such as 'chikkies' on a routine basis as they are rich in protein and calories, iron respectively. Hope I have answered your query, if you have any clarification please let me know. Regards.
