MMR yesterday and then worst night ever last night...

[bluestripes]

DS usually sleeps ok but he had his MMR yesterday afternoon and was pretty much awake most of last night, crying. He is still crying on and off this morning and not really wanting his milk.He has a slight temperature. From everything I have read, the fever side effects are supposed to only come up about 7-10 days later. Did anyone else's DS have this after the MMR?

mine had it in the 24hrs after, and then in 7 day spurts for a couple of weeks.

NO - mine had the effects 7-10 days later. he could have been coming down with something in any case and it's just bad timing - it;s that time of year unfortunately.

Just making me a bit worried as he has gone right off his food and is really miserable.

was it your thread about the jab the other day?

I'd take him to the dr if worried

do take him to the docs if you're concerned - but remember there's lots of bugs going around at the moment anyway so it might be wholly unrelated. DS is currently lying on the sofa with streaming eyes, runny nose, bad cough and no appetite from a nasty cold/flu thing.

hope your DS feels better soon

unfortunately an vaccination can have side effects pretty much straight away

My DD had her MMR 3 weeks ago and that very night she was awake for 3 hours between 1-4am. She was perfectly happy, not crying etc, but was just wide awake. The next night she went back to normal and although she did get a temperature about a week after the jab, it only lasted a few days and she is now right as rain.

I would give calpol or ibruprofen and do that before bedtime tonight as well

sounds like he might be going down with a cold or soemthing TBH

Poor you. we've just been through this too - DS had his MMR (the 2nd one) and I think caught an infection at the same time and my god he was poorly. Just floored him - high temperature for over a week. Absolutely fine now though - I think as someone else said, it's just bad timing at this time of year. Lots of pain relief and drinks seemed to help (and endless tv - bad mother
hope you get some rest too.

dd was pretty unwell within a day or two. Lasted about a week to 10 days. No reaction to booster though 6 months or so later.

My DS had his MMR a few days ago too and was pretty unwell straight after it. He seemed to be getting worse so I took him back to the doctor who said he also had tonsilitus
