Rash after shots? Call pedi or normal?

mamarazzi · February 2009

Andersen has small red bumps all over his chest. The nurse said I could expect a low-grade temp, but said nothing about a rash. I'm a little afraid to google.

You'd think I hadn't just been through this all two years ago or something...

Was varicella one of the shots? Sometimes that will cause a rash afterwards.

My DS got a rash about 10 days after the MMR.

DTap will also sometimes have a rash as a side effect.

I would call. I always error on the side of caution. I would rather they say it's nothing than say, why didn't you call.
