vomiting and coughing after MMR?

[ginortea]

My son (12 months) had his MMR jab last tuesday and over the last 48 hours has started vomiting and coughing. The night before last (when it started) he had a high fever but he's now just a little warm (plus the sick etc).

Anyone know whether it's likely to be related to the jabs? Please don't tell me I shouldn't have given it to him - too late for that advice...

I certainly won't tell you that you shouldn't have given it to him.
That would be a fairly delayed reaction to the jab and it sounds rather extreme.
Most children, if they react at all, only get a mild fever within a day or so.
Is it not more likely that he's genuinely sick?

Thanks, just put him in the bath and realised hes got a faint measles rash too, so inclined to think they might be connected after all?

Friend of mine had this with her son. He had a temp, off colour, and measles rash for few days. She did take him to GP, but it was really a case of calpol and cuddles.

Thanks, that's what I'm administering at the moment! Will continue...

My DD had a fever and was sick about 5 days after her jabs, but was fine the next day.

The nurse told me that this might happen, also that is could be up to a week after and also getting a rash is normal.
