mysterious rash 6 weeks after MMR

My DD 15 months had her MMR 6 weeks ago. This weekend have noticed a rash over her arms and legs - nowhere else. Did the glass test and ok. Could this be a delayed reaction to MMR? She hasn't got a temperature but is teething and we have had a bit of grizzly clingy day. Also has a bit of a runny nose and sore bottom which she usually gets when teething. Could the rash be anything to do with teething? I did ring local on call nurse and she suggested giving piriton for rash and monitor it. Anyone got any suggestions? Thanks

could well be a rubella type rash from the MMR especially if she has no other symptoms. Go with the nurses advice keep an eye on it and if your not happy see GP. The rashes with MMR can take a good while to come out but tend to only last a couple of days! HTH

When ds1 had his mmr booster they said he may get a reaction 6-7 weeks after the jab.hth
