My DS has his vaccinations last week. The nurse said that after 6-10 days he may get a temperature, rash and another symptoms from the MMR vaccine. On day 7 the symptoms struck - high temp, not eating, very lethargic, viral type rash.
These symptoms have lasted for 4 days now. He’s hardly sleeping and when he does it’s a fretful sleep. Calpol is bringing his temp down to around 37 degrees but then after a couple of hours it’s back up to 38.5 and doesn’t seem to be coming down. We’re all exhausted and up for hours in the night with him crying. He’s drinking plenty of water and still having some milk but doesn’t really want to eat anything other than puréed food or yogurts. He’s not wanting any of his normal food, not even toast. He won’t play and just sits with us all day and is so tired but can’t properly sleep :( is this normal? I expected this to go on for a couple of days but it’s been four days now. I phoned our doctors yesterday afternoon and I’m still waiting for her to give me a call back to discuss it. Did any of your DCs react like this? I will add that we did have a rough couple of days with all his previous vaccinations too - but it’s never gone on for this long. Thanks
