MMR jab and “mini measles” rash

Hi just wondering if anyone had any experience with this? 9 days after getting the MMR jab DS came down with a high temp and felt rubbish for 2 days, also just finished a course of antibiotics for a chest infection, and then came out in a full body rash. On day 3 (yesterday) we went GP as it was still spreading, they said they’re not sure what it is and if it was their GS they’d be worried but not overly and to keep an eye on it for a few days. They also prescribed some antihistamines which don’t seem to be bringing the rash down.
How long has this lasted in your little ones if you’ve seen this?
TIA

Our little one had it quite badly and I think it lasted 3-4 days and then was gone. It was a bit scary even though I knew what it was!

Hope your DS feels better soon.
