MMR vaccine rash reaction?

jonnygurl76

has anyone's LO had this?  it has been 11 days since she got the shot and today she has about 10-15 red bumps on her belly and 1 on her cheek.  when i googled it, it says to give ibuprofen for fever (she doesn't have one) and a cold compress on the rash, but the pic they show is about 100x worse than what she has.

i can't do anything except wait it out, right?

My son got a reaction but not until 14 days after his shot. His stomach, check and back were covered in red spots. I brought him in b/c they told me 7-10 days after and it had been 14 and they said to just give motrin and if it seemed to bother him some Benadryl. I did both for about 2 days and it went away after 3 days.

DD got a rash on the 10th day after she got the shot.  The first day it was not very bad, by morning it was really bad.  It covered her entire body.  It started to go away after 5 days. 

From what I heard, there is not much they will do for the rash.  DD's pedi did not do anything for the rash, but she did give her a shot of something to keep her fever down because she also had an ear infection at that time.

I would also make sure to call and have your pediatrician record this in your daughter's chart.
