DS 18 mo had his MMR jab over three and a half weeks ago. He was a bit grumpy, clingy and hot for a couple of days later. Yesterday I discovered a rash on the lower part of his tummy. Today the rash has spread across the entire tummy and over his bum and thighs. The rash looks like little small red dots. I've been trawling through any info on MMR side effects but they all mention the rash occuring much sooner. DS has no fever but is quite tired. His apetite is a little iffy but I'm not sure whether that is linked with the rash or wether it is just another way in which he is trying to exert his independence at the moment. Apart from the rash, there is nothing about him that would lead me to think he might be ill. DH thinks it looks a bit like chicken pox. Having never seen measles, rubella nor chicken pox rash myself, I have nothing to compare with.
Does anyone else have a similar experience?
