When my 5 month old had his 8 week vaccinations he had some kind of reaction almost 48 hours later. His body broke out in large red blotches/hives so I took him straight to our GP and she said it did look like some kind of reaction, said to give him one dose of piriton so I did and it worked right away. She suggested that he could possibly be allergic to the egg protein but it's hard to tell without being tested by an allergy clinic which she referred us to. In the meantime she said to hold off on the rest of the jabs.
Fast forward to today, after waiting 3 months I finally got a phone consultation with a specialist today. He rang me earlier than scheduled so caught me off guard, and was in a massive rush to get through the call and get off the phone. He immediately said it can't be an allergic reaction because it happened almost 2 days later and that we should give him the rest of the jabs but give them separately once a week or something. He didn't care when I said that the piriton worked on his rash/hives and he just rushed through and was off the phone in 3 minutes.
I'm so confused now, do I listen to him and get the rest of them done? I want to take him to a private doctor now to get allergy tests done but my husband is saying if the doctor says it's fine then let's do it.
Side note: I desperately want him to be fully vaccinated like my DS1 is so this is really stressful for me.
Any advice? Thank you
