MMR and delayed fever?

Did anyone's LO's have a reaction to the MMR days after getting the shot?

Gator got her shot last Tuesday. Last night she was up all night with a fever bouncing around between 101 and 103. Now all day we have been battling the fever, it's still bouncing around between 101 and 104. She woke up and had a little bit of nasty snot, but I haven't seen any snot since 8am this morning. She has no other symptoms...besides being cranky because she is uncomfortable. I thought I saw something on the board about kids getting rashes or fevers days after getting the shot.

Should I be worried about it and call the doctor? It's hard to judge since she doesn't have any other symptoms.

Our doc told us it happens 7 to 10 days after the shots. Gavin got a high fever around that time but he also got really sick ear infection and strep throat. Hope your LO gets better soon!

Our pedi said up to 10 days after. It doesn't hurt to give the pedi a call if you're concerned.

Yes! DD had a reaction about 10 days out. She had a fever and a rash.

Brooke had a fever like this a week after her MMR shot.  Then she got a rash. They still don't know if it was the MMR vaccine or Roseola.  Either way, it had to run it's course.
