High temp 10 days after MMR

[justmewithmylifetoday]

DS (14 months) had his MMR vaccinations 10 days go. Yesterday started with cold symptoms and gunky eyes.

Today suddenly spiked very high temp 39.9

Obviously will go to Drs if needed but just wondering if it could be related to his jabs 10 days later?

Thanks

Did they not tell you about side effects? Different parts of the vaccine can cause different effects some time after the vaccination

Common side effects of the MMR vaccine

As there are 3 separate vaccines within a single injection, different side effects can happen at different times.

Measles vaccine side effects

Around 7 to 11 days after the injection, some children get a very mild form of measles. This includes:

• a rash
• a high temperature
• loss of appetite
• a general feeling of being unwell for about 2 or 3 days

These symptoms are not infectious, so your child will not pass anything on to non-vaccinated children.

Mumps vaccine side effects

Around 3 to 4 weeks after the injection, 1 in 50 children develop a mild form of mumps. This includes swollen glands in the cheeks, neck or under the jaw which can last for up to 2 days.

These symptoms are not infectious for other people.

Rubella vaccine side effects

Around 1 to 3 weeks after the injection, some adult women experience painful, stiff or swollen joints for up to 3 days.

Or it could be unrelated too

Could be coincidental but the MMR is very different from the early jabs, in that the side effects can come on much later as a PP posted. People get used to the early jabs and babies having temps or being grouchy within a very short amount of time and don't realize these ones are different.

Probably the measles coming out. I feel like this was about ten days later. My babies got a mild rash with it too.

Yes very common. I was warned about it. Doctor said to give fever reduce (ie, calpol) as it's not a real fever with a purpose.

Thanks all, will keep a close eye on him. Little ones seem to pick the weekend to be poorly! Ooh GP is pretty good in our area so I know I can go if needed. (If I can get through 111 first!)

Mine got both measles and mumps after hers, and at some point in the middle, conjunctivitis which I vaguely recall now was also part of the measles. It was quite. a. month.
