ds (2 years old) had his Hib booster on Monday. We didn't really think anything of it as he didn't really react much with any of his other vaccinations that I remember.
Anyway, he's been fine until yesterday when he had a couple of bouts of high temperature ... both brought down easily with Calpol/Nurofen. Roughly 24 hours after vaccination so that's about right.
However, we had a very rough night last night. He had disturbed sleep (unconnected I think - I suspect a nightmare of some kind) so I brought him into my room for the rest of the night. In the early hours of the morning I noticed that he had started wheezing and sounding quite short of breath (combined with a very occasional, phlegmy sounding cough). He also had another really high temperature. I gave him some calpol and baby piriton (figuring that piriton helps take hayfever symptoms away that it would help if he was having some sort of reaction - did I do the right thing?!) and eventually he got back to sleep again although I lay awake for ages anxiously listening to him breathe.
This morning, no sign of wheezing and has been fine except he's been chewing on his fingers a lot. And just now (11.30) I've noticed he's getting a bit hot again so when he goes down for his nap he's going to get yet more nurofen just in case!
It just seems that this is dragging on for so long after the vaccination. Does this sound like vaccination after effects? Is it to do with teething? Or is it something else entirely?! Bit concerned about the wheezing part in particular although he hasn't repeated since so a bit reluctant to go to the doctor if it's cleared itself up. If it happens again, is piriton the right thing to give?
