Reaction to MMR??
Hi there
Just wondered if anyones los had had any reactions to their MMR vaccines?? Poppy had hers just over a week ago and yesterday was really poorly, she had no appetite, a raging fever that hit 40 degrees so had to call NHS direct and generally didn't know what to do with herself. We had to get her to sleep in a cool room in just a vest and wake her every 4 hours to give her calpol to help bring the temperature down. It worked though and this morning she was much better but now has a little speckly rash all over her body - like measles really.
If she has reacted to the measles part of the vaccine does this mean she is likely to react to the mumps part too??
Thanks

He had last one at start of Nov & a week later was vomming for 4 nights in a row, had fever & generally not a happy boy for a week.
We saw a pediatrician for something unrelated at the same time & I mentioned about him being ill twice after MMR & he said that it was quite common. NOT what the nurse said when he was having it done
Both had the rashy type thing too but it went on its own after two/three days.
My son on the other hand had no reaction atall...weird how it affects some and not others.

I feel bad, I know the vaccine is necessary but it's made her so poorly and I feel guilty!

Ps Hi Amy - how are you and lo doing?
Sam has his jags on Wed and I'm really worrying about the side effects!

Hope Poppy is feeling better soon.

I know it is a necessary evil though and I'm still glad I had it done - if this was a mild dose of measles I'd hate to see what a proper dose was like!!
Thanks again for everyones advice & comments on my first post in the toddler forum!!xx
I hope you are both well now. So sorry to hear that you'd been made redundant-great to be able to spend extra time with Poppy though!
