15 month old chickenpox or something different?

[elm26]

Morning everyone

DD not been herself last couple of days, grumpy and not sleeping well despite always loving her sleep.

This morning she's covered in a rash.

2 weeks ago she had her 1 year vaccinations, the nurse said a rash could re appear after 2 weeks but this looks different to the one she developed a couple of days after the injections.

She's obviously not feeling great and feels warm so I've given some calpol.

Thanks in advance!

After the MMR vaccination
MMR is made up of 3 different vaccines (measles, mumps and rubella) which can cause reactions at different times after the injection.
Side effects after 6 to 10 days
After 6 to 10 days the measles vaccine starts to work and may cause a:

• fever
• measles-like rash
• loss of appetite

Side effects at 2 to 3 weeks At around 2 to 3 weeks after the injection the mumps vaccine may cause mumps-like symptoms (fever and swollen glands) in some children. Side effects at 12 to 14 days Most commonly around 12 to 14 days after the injection, the rubella vaccine may cause a brief rash and a slightly raised temperature. On rare occasions, a rash may also occur up to 6 weeks later.

Thank you

The spots were growing thick and fast and she was screaming by late morning, called GP and said I'm sure it's chicken pox but they wanted to check her out anyway. It is chickenpox so we've got some calpol, virasoothe and portion on the go and hopefully she'll be over it within the next week 🤞🏻
