Hi ladies my son has his 12month jabs in a few weeks what was your children's symptoms after the jabs it's been so long ago since his other jabs abit nervous

Yes but it was fine with a bit of calpol

@KiloWhat thanks for your response how many days did the fever last for was it just 1day? X

Yes, it's quite a normal response. Can't remember if either of mine had a fever, but it's usual to be a bit unwell afterwards.

Is 12 month the MMR? If so my DD developed the measles-like rash quite badly all over her back. 111 advised us to give child Piriton which worked brilliantly.

Yes about a day. They had 4 jabs I think it was in one go and about a week/a week and a half later they got a little rash but id been prewarned

@Echobelly thanks for telling I'm going to purchase just in case this happens too

Glad your little one was okay after

Whilst it's never nice to see your child unwell, the temp, and other symptoms like distress due to aches perhaps, mild (usually) rash, maybe some raised lymph nodes in the neck mean that your baby is responding well to the vaccinations and their body is doing exactly the right thing to create the antibodies needed to protect them. See it as a positive, if possible. Some children have mild symptoms, some robust reactions ( so temp, rash etc.. for longer than 24-48 hours). Keep Calpol, liquid infant Ibuprofen and liquid Piriton ( antihistamine) in stock.
Nb. Combination of Calpol and Ibuprofen is magic if your LO is really miserable.
Hope that helps
