Lump after MMR jab

[kay1981]

MY DS had his mmr jab yesterday and he was fine last night, but this morning has got a big, red, hot lump at the site of injection.

He never had this with any other jabs - should I be worried? (tbh, I already am).

What do you think?

my ds had huge lump for ages,I didn't ask anyone about it though as it didn't bother him.It was there for ages,I mean weeks.

i remember my dd had a lump for 4 days. It was a red angry looking hard lump. Nothing to worry as DD was her happy self.

Yes so did my dd. Really big and hard. I had heard they could get that so didnt worry to much but was not nice. Dont worry, it will go. Hope ds feels better soon

A mate's DS had hte same Kay

(does your surname begin with R by the way? I think I might know you )

Thanks, just been reading a lot on autism before he had jab - got a bit worked up I think!

No MamaG, 'fraid tis not me - i begin with a 'S' (close though!!)

Keep an eye on it. Has he got a rash?

No NAB3, no rash, though he did only have it yesterday. I am watching a lot more closely than usual.

Why you say "keep an eye on it", what are your thoughts?

Ok, so I just spoke to nurse who did jab, and I got it wrong .

Lump is on the site of his pneumonia jab that he had at the same time, (left leg, mmr jab on his right), so do feel a bit better now but it just freaked me out a bit cause he never had reaction like that before.

Thanks for helping

I am over cautious as the nurse didn't do the jab correctly and my son had cellulitis.
