Delayed Vaccine Fever?

1 reply

FaeryCatx · Yesterday 20:59

My daughter had her 18 month vaccinations on Thursday (2 days ago). Every other vaccine she’s had she always gets a fever in a couple hours which is almost gone by the next day.

This time she had no fever, I was so happy! But starting yesterday she felt quite warm and today she does have a high temperature and has runny poo as well.

Could it be a delayed reaction to the vaccine or could she just have caught an illness?
She’s having the other symptoms the doctors warned could happen after the vaccine - feeling more tired, not eating as much as usual… but I’ve never experienced it happening two days after the vaccination. Is this normal? Has it happened to anyone else?

In general she is still doing well, she was getting me to dance with her all morning. She does seem a bit more irritable though.

I know it says on the NHS website that diarrhoea can be a less common side effect of the vaccine - it would just make me feel better to know this has happened to another mum. I really hope she’s not getting ill as her last gastro illness was so scary.

Thank you, if you reply!

Noone could really tell you for sure.

But hope its the vaccine & she feels better in the morning
