fever after immunation ?

Kaleigh received her MMR and Hep vaccines a week ago Monday. Monday of this week (7 days later) she developed a fever of 102. She still has it today. It goes down with Tylenol. I called the pedi office and they want to see her if it is still present tommorrow.

I was just curious if anyone else has experienced fever post vaccination and how long they lasted.

Thanks

The fever can come and go up to two weeks from what I understand. My girls actually broke out with a rash at the two week point after the MMR and started their fever then. The pedi just said to give Tylenol and it would go away in a couple of days which it did.

 

Mine got a 102 fever that lasted for about 5 days and then a bright red rash at about 7 days that lasted almost 5 days as well. The MMR was not a fun one for my kids. They do not usually react to their vaccinations but they did to the MMR. If the Tylenol is bringing it down than I wouldn't worry.

This is correct with the MMR vaccine. Some will even get a rash.

Yup, we got ours starting right around 7 days and lasted about five days in all. We had a huge loss of appetite, too. Poor babies!!

 

We only got mild fever and crankiness right at 2 weeks after the vax. But I do remember the doctor saying they could have a high fever anytime from 7-14 days later.

 

Thanks everyone. The pedi's office called after my post and wanted to see her today...turned out to be double ear infections! I never would have guessed it in a million years. It's the first ear infection in our house and first round of antibiotics I guess it had to happen sooner or later.

 

That's good that you took her in! Hope she feels better soon.

Mine both had a mild rash about 10 days after the shots and they ran a low fever for a day but mostly it was the fussiness and refusal to eat solids that I noticed. It was such a relief when they were back to themselves. That MMR is a rough one.
