Does this sound like MMR reaction?

DD got a rash on her tongue (little spots) 11 days post MMR and had discomfort when eating. 3 days after she started getting very clingy, upset and not herself and losing appetite. 16 days post MMR she was really sick in the night and the following day (today) she's been very tired, had a tiny diarrhoea and clingy and generally unwell with no appetite.

Does this sound like normal mmr side effects? Does anyone know how long it might last? The nurse who gave dd hers was v unspecific in general but I remember her saying could get side effects 4-6 weeks post jabs Sad

Sounds like the sort of reactions my DD had very recently. We were given a leaflet and I think there was something about a side effects around day 12 ish and then around day 15/16 ish? My DD had a rash all over her body which I cannot remember if according to the leaflet could have been the rubella side effect? I do know that she got very clingy and seemed not her usual self then and that it lasted for about a week or so.

I think that there was something else that could come up as you say quite late (4-6wks) but don't recall it now - am at work at moment but if no-one else comes along with more info. could look it up later this evening.

Good luck

Thanks curious , we are going on holiday at the 4 week mark (our only holiday all year) so please let her be OK! I can take all these effects it's just the vomit I can't deal with. I'm so hoping it was a one off last night and it was her injections and she's not ill
