Bad reaction to vaccine

[Annie96x]

Has anyone’s little had a reaction to their vaccinations? My 16 month old never does well with hers gives her really bad sickness and diarrhea however this time her leg has completely swelled up and rashed all over it’s warm to touch, we’re currently waiting to go up hospital to get it checked out. Has anyone else experience this?

Does your GP let you send in photos online? I would send those to the GP and ask if they want to see your LO. It looks sore, poor thing, definitely more 'enthusuastic' than any vaccine site reaction my LO had at 12 months. Will she take Calpol/ibuprofen?

Which vaccines did she have? Both my DD and DS had the new MMRV this week and while I am 100% pro vaccine they do seem to have had a worse reaction than to previous vaccines. Maybe because the chickpox is a live vaccine? How long after the vaccine was she ill?

This happened to my 3 year old with preschool booster. Her arm swelled up loads, was red all over and hot to touch. It went down after a couple of days. I wasn't worried because my child was otherwise fine and I googled it and it said it's a common and harmless reaction.

Hello @Annie96x just to let you know we’re currently running a vaccinations Q&A with two NHS experts.

If you’d like to ask them directly about things like schedules, side effects, eligibility or outbreak concerns, you can post your question here
