Pre school boosters

[charlie19900]

Hi daughter 3yrs 5 months had her pre school boosters on Tuesday yesterday Wednesday she has a snotty nose but today has woken up with both eyes sticky and very pale and feeling sick. Not her self atal one of the injection sights is really red today to is this all normal or has she picked up a virus ? Thanks x

Hello, they can normally feel unwell afterwards. It sounds like it’s bad timing and she’s picked up a little virus then had the booster and it’s all just come to a head.
Hope she feels better soon! X

The MMR injection site for my daughter was redder than the other side. It probably was the size of a £2 coin and didn't grow in size. The other side you could just see the pin prick. We kept an eye on it to make sure that it wasn't getting bigger or had other symptoms.

Sounds like unfortunate timings. My daughter started with chicken pox later the same day she had the first MMR with the 1 year jabs. It was just bad luck. Always give your GP a call with any concerns after a jab. They would much rather says it's nothing that you not go and it to be something. My daughter had a very strong immune response to the menB at 4 months resulting in inconsolable screaming and the GP and the paediatrician we were sent to see were both very reassuring about getting seen even though all they had to suggest was Calpol and cuddles and nothing different to what we were always doing

@Superscientist it's like this now 😭😭😭

I would probably get that looked at. It's likely to be nothing abnormal but I think it's wouldn't hurt to get that confirmed.

Your gp surgery should see you quite quickly, if not pop along to your local pharmacy.
