measles shot?

Question

my 15 month old had the measles vaccine .they call it mmr i guess.well anyways she had the shot 10 days ago and today she got a rash it just keeps getting worse.shes acting very normal besides the rash.no fever or anything just the rash.i brought her to the dr's and they said the rash is from the shot and kids will get the rash 7-12 days after getting vaccinated.its still making me worried.has this happened to anyone of you or anyone that you know?

its normal for the rash to get worse?

Answer 1

Yes, it has happened to one of my kiddos. Totally normal.

Answer 2

Well, my boy had his also a week ago and he has spots all over him. He's grumpy, doesn't sleep normal. So, yes, it is normal for the spots/rash

Answer 3

thats actually considered an adverse reaction, it also means your child is at an increased risk of a severe allergic reaction to further mmr vaccines.
since your doc seems to be blowing you off you need another opinion.

Answer 4

If the child isn't exhibiting in other symthoms, like fever, then it will pass in a few days.

Answer 5

Get a different doctor, this is a vaccine reaction. It must be reported to VAERS, this is a link to reactions from MMR-these are just the reported ones http://www.medalerts.org/vaersdb/findfield.php?LOWAGE=&HIGHAGE=&SEX=&STATE=&PRIOR_VAX=&VAX_DATE_LOW=&VAX_DATE_HIGH=&CUR_ILL=&VAX=MMR&VAXDOSE=&VAXMAN=&VAXROUTE=&VAXLOT=&VAXSITE=&ONSET_DATE_LOW=&ONSET_DATE_HIGH=&REPORT_DATE_LOW=&REPORT_DATE_HIGH=&SYMPTOMS=&HISTORY=&L_THREAT=&ER_VISIT=&DIED=&HOSPITAL=&DEATH_DATE_LOW=&DEATH_DATE_HIGH=&X_STAY=&RECOVD=&LAB_DATA=&DISABLE=&OTHER_MEDS=&V_ADMINBY=&V_FUNDBY=&PAGENO=1&PERPAGE=10

My son hasn't had the shot, but I know plenty of parents who have had their child get the MMR vaccine and NONE of them had a rash.
