Is she crying or gurgling happily? If she's gurgling happily; what's the problem? It's soo cute! You can't "teach" babies to make sounds.

It is not gurgling. It's an ear peircing loud shrill shrieking! When your 6 year old bothers your 3 year old and he starts shreiking- that kinda shriek!!!

It can be loud and annoying, but she's just experimenting with her voice and sounds. Nothing much you can do, but it will pass as she discovers other sounds she can make.

OP, I meant to ask if it's happy playful shrieking or sad and painful shrieking? Some babies shriek instead of talk.

Is this new? Some kids get that after shots. I'd so, need to get it checked out.

If it's a high-pitched scream that lasts for hours, that can be vaccine-induced encephalopathy / encephalitis (brain inflammation). Contact your Dr immediately to find out if you should go to the ER and make sure it is reported so they can make sure there was nothing wrong with that batch of vaccines.

Did he get the rotarix (the one he drinks)? Sometimes that causes vomiting, but it's not a dangerous side effect unless he really can't keep anything down and is at risk of dehydration.

He didn't get anything to drink.
I called my pediatrician and she said that these behaviors are not vaccine related. She claims he probably has a virus.

Both my kids did that.
I'm sorry to inform you it can last for a while. My kids still talk really loudly. (Their ears are fine) and it is HARD.
I remember when one was a bay the other a toddler, theyd go on this shreikfest competition and I thought I'm losing my mind. I still shudder when I think about it.
It was THAT bad. If we had someone over they'd marvel how I'm coping. I wasn't!!!
It was insanity.
It didn't help that I'm sensitive to loud noise Sad

But it did pass. Eventually. I honestly think this was harder than their colic (well not worse that my second baby colic. There isn't anything worse that that. Omg!) It was THAT bad. They loved doing it at meal times. They'd shreik with thier ears covered and giggle afterwards.

At some point they stopped doing it. I can't really pinpoint when. My baby now started doing it too. I told hashem I CANNOT handle that and he CANNOT make this child do that to. So far it has worked. Lol.
Kidding aside I don't think I can go thru that again.

Funny thing (not so funny at the time) I have a video of my second kid as a baby in a infant seat playing with toys and giving a shreik and scaring herself soooo bad she was inconsolable. LOL

Go the doctor. Not the one who gave the shots. ASAP.

Did she SEE the child? This is why most vaccine reactions don't get reported...

My baby did the same thing. It didnt last forever. It was just constant very high pitched squeals. It wont last forever. It's just a phase. Dont worry

And my 8 month old shouts. Not crying, just loud shouts. Drives me NUTS!!! But BH she's just experimenting with her voice and it will hopefully resolve sooner rather than later...

I suggest going to see a neurologist if it's been a few days like that. I don't want to scare you but I don't want to beat around the bush either. It can chvsh be a sign of encephalitis. I hope not.

They will never claim anything is vaccine related .. And if they do, they won't chart it .

A vaccine can alter gut balance which can cause vomiting. I say try some good klaire labs probiotics.
