102.2 fever..do you think its from the vaccine 8 days ago??

He is sick AGAIN. He was sick last week with a fever and cold and finally over it.

just before the poor kid starts shaking uncontrollably and crying..I got very very nervous, if i didn't know better I thought it was the start of a seizure. Talk about scary. Then I realized his hands and feet were ICE and he was burning up badly.

He had the measles part of the MMR 8 days ago...I know the reaction can happen 5-12 days later. Anyone go through this???

TIA!

Mmmm, probably not, but I would call his doctor to check all the same. I think a fever is supposed to show up very quickly after the vaccine.

I know that from the chicken pox vaccine my DD got a fever and rash 10 days later- and my doc said was totally normal.

It sounds like a typical reaction to the MMR. I would call the ped. to put yourself at ease though

8 days after the MMR shot my DD had a high fever (103 - 102) for 3 days. I brought her to ped. just to make sure it was the reaction and it was. He told me to make sure I give her Motrin every 6 hours to keep the fever down.
I would def. call my doctor though just to make sure.

I think my friends daughter got a reaction 10 days later from the vaccine.
