MMR rash?

DD2 (14m)had her MMR on 6 Nov. I was told at the time that she may develop a rash up to 3 weeks later. I wasn't told what the rash would look like. This morning whilst she was in the bath I noticed chicken pox type spots in her creases around arms, neck and legs, as well as a tiny rash of dots all over her. She has had 4 restless evenings this week. She usually sleeps 7 till 7 so it is unusual for her. Does this sound like a delayed reaction to the MMR?

make sure the rash disappears if you press a glass on it

it might be coincidence, but it might not

is she feverish? you can give calpol, and to tepid sponging if she is very hot

is she eating/ drinking?

She is fine in herself. No fever, normal nappies, no lack of appetite, happy, giggling, moving about. Just a couple of sleepless nights and the rash.
