Reaction to MMR Vaccine

My children always had some diarrhea after vaccines. My son also developed a rash after the MMR vaccine. It only lasted a day or two. Good luck

the rash is a side effect to the shot and totally normal. it can last to up to a week or so. you can give her benadryl. if she developed hives or rash and diarrhea get worse along with fever i would call docotr back asap.

Dear E.,
It's pretty standard for a child to have a reaction to the vaccines. Most cases I know of last about as long as the disease you vaccinate against. So, for MMR, a week to ten days would be about right.
1)You should call her doctor, to let them know she is having a reation.
2)Make sure they put it in writing IN HER FILE
3)Don't give her ASPRIN
4) Call her doctor if she spikes a fever over 100.
Other-wise, keep her comfortable and calm. She will probably tire easily and may be sensitive to bright light.
Lots of liquids and rest.
Good Luck!

E., make sure you keep an eye on ever other aspect of your daughter. You should ask your doctor for the batch number on the vaccination, in case anything else comes up. www.thinktwice.com has so very extreem stories about reactions to vaccinations but you may find some of the info helpfull.

My daughter broke out in a measles-like rash after her MMR in June. I think it lasted a week to 10 days

Hi E.,
I just went throug this. My daughter had her 12 month shots and got really sick. She developed high fevers the next morning for about a week and then when the fever broke she developed a full body rash that came and went for about a week. Following that she had a "very impressive" case of hives that did not go away for about 5 days. I was told throughout all of this that it could be anything from a reaction to the vaccine to a virus...I know this probably didn't help but I wanted you to know what I went through. By the way she is fine now and we never knew what happened so I guess what I am telling you is that she may have no reaction or a severe one but it IS normal. Have a great day.
