Red rash ten days after MMR - normal?

[ali23]

Hi there, DD had her MMR ten days ago. She was grand but a few days ago had a really high temperature for two or three days. The it disappeared yesterday but she was very clingy this morning and all of a sudden appeared to be covered from head to foot in a bright red rash and wasn't herself.
Is this just a reaction to the vaccination or is it something more sinister?

Sounds fairly normal for some?

"Soon after immunisation there may be soreness, redness or swelling where the injection was given.

After immunisation some children may get a very mild form of measles with a rash (about 1 in 10), a fever (about 1 in 15), loss of appetite and a general feeling of being unwell for 2 or 3 days.

More rarely a child (1 in 50) can develop a mild form of mumps with swelling of the glands in the cheek, neck or under the jaw about 3 weeks after being immunised. This only lasts a day or two.

One to three weeks after the first dose there may be pain, stiffness or swelling in one or more joints because of the rubella part of the vaccine; this usually lasts up to three days. It is rare in young children and seems to occur more often when adult women are given rubella vaccine.

Children who have been immunised cannot infect other children with the viruses contained in the MMR vaccine."

Does the rash blanch. if it does not it could be ITP a kind of pupura. My son got IPT after his MMR...he also got very ill with temps for a long time after. Had to see a homeopath to stop the temps. he had never had another jab since. He also went on to develop another form of pupura but more serious when he was 7 and it took a long time for him to recover. I would take your child to the doctor. But hell will freeze over before they adimit its the MMR

Thanks for the advice.
