My son had a reaction to the MMR. High feaver, yes. He did get a rash, but I almost didn't notice it, because it came at the end of the feaver and was light. Sounds like your son had a reaction to the MMR. Use infant IBpreufen to help keep the fever down.

My son had slight rash and high temp 10 days after but was told this would possibly happen, just gave him calpol he was fine 2.8years now no lasting effect (only a few days rash stayed).

We were wondering the same thing--our 15 mth old has been feverish and full of cold and catarrh ever since his Jab 3 weeks ago.Dr says its just co-incidence.Hope he soon feels better.Ours is teething and always has a bad time with each tooth he cuts.

That's exactly the reaction my son had. The timing is right as well - dont' worry about it - it's perfectly normal, nothing a spoonful of Calpol won't sort out.

I would expect any reaction to show up much faster - after all, it's a direct injection into the body. However, check with the doctor - they are the experts, unlike anyone in here...
