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.
