Baby with a LOW temperature post vaccination..????

[GreenandBlackOtter]

Any one had experience of this...?
My little boy 13 mths has been really poorrly since friday following vaccinations on thursday ( hib and ...?)

He started with whinging and loss of appetite followed by vomitting for a day and now terrible diarroeah and a low temp 34.5 and BLUE lips!

he appears very poorly - sleeps till 1pm every day and then dozy two hours later - but the cold ams and legs and blue lips do concern me...

any docs or nurses??

any similar??

Hi GreenandBlackOtter. Hope your ds is getting better.

Just thought I'd let you know that my dd (12 mths) had similar symptoms albeit not quite as marked about a month ago. I took her to the GP 2 days in a row and he said to relax, it was just sth viral. When she turned blue, I took her to the A&E and they x-rayed her lungs and found that she had pneumonia and needed antibiotics to clear it away.

I think it would be wise to take your ds to the A&E - remember they have different equipment to test your ds than is available for your GP.

GreenAndBlackOtter - whether through medical intervention or natual recovery I hope that BabyOtter is improving and will be fit and well asap.

For what it's worth, my own reactions have been exactly in line with yours and with Gess's. I too, would have reacted as Gess has done to Serenity's very clear explanation. But I think you have been strong throughout this and I am thinking of you.

I've been thinking about your little one and I hope he is feeling better this morning.

Oh dear what a to do. How's it all now? No offence anyone but this is the last place I'd come for medical advice. I'm just straight down to A&E or my dd's chinese doctor

DD also had pneumonia .. only diagnosed on x-ray .. no other symptoms (at 18 months and 10 days after MMR) apart from high temp that wouldn't come down with calpol / nurofen for 3 days

I hope your little boy is ok Otter and that you're not too frazzled

people can be a little over zealous parenting is an emotive subject and we all think we're right

hope your little one is ok

Hi Again

Hope you are doing well B&GOtter and your little one is feeling better and got over his illness himself. Just thought that I would add that although medically the symptoms you described had me screaming at my computer to go to A&E, a mother's instict is a powerful thing and no Doctor/nurse/friend etc etc can ever understand your child the way you do! I hope I didnt sound like I was coming on hard in my last post it was just your first post for advce listed symptoms that COULD be symptoms for many serious things.

Anyway I am thinking about you and hope you are all ok.

I hope so much that Otter will post good news soon.

so no news then...

surely she must have taken him by now....or he's better. hopefully the latter.

Hope your little one is feeling a bit better today

Otter - I've come on to this late so wont offer my opinion etc but can you please just let everyone know if your DS is OK. People here are genuinely worried

No news then? I'll keep checking. Otter, I hope things are ok.

go to thread in chat with heading "so does anyone know greenandblackotter in rl because i keep worrying"

Glad he's ok. Hope she comes back!!!

Good news thanks for that lockets

Oh, not good news about NAO having a break. You know what I mean!
