Q. Does a comma go after i.e. or e.g.?

A.:

By nature, they are preceded by a mark of punctuation,
usually a comma. Generally both are followed by a comma in
American English, though not in British English. E.g. may
also be followed by a colon, depending on the construction.
In British English, it is often written as eg with the
periods omitted.

that only applies to official and formal texts, any form of
punctuation is acceptable and understood within informal
texts and dialogues.
