15 month shots and rash

Is a rash an effect of the 15 month shots? H got her shots last Monday and woke up this morning with a rash on her upper body. I don't think it is from the shots but I can't think of anything else it would be from. A call to the pedi has been made.

Re: 15 month shots and rash

  • Ya know, come to think of it, E has little bumps on her torso (no redness) after her shots too, but I thought it was just dry skin and didn't attribute it to shots.

    Is it red and bumpy or just bumpy?

    She does still have a ring around one injection site caused by a reaction to the adhesive on the bandaid.

  • It is red and bumpy and she is itchy. She has bumps on her leg too, not as much, nothing specific on the injection site.

  • :( Rocco has his 15 month appt today. I will keep a look out and let you know. Hopefully it clears up soon!
  • Was the MMR one of the shots LO got? Pedi told us with that one, a rash could occur up to 14 days later. As long as there's no fever present, everything should be fine.
  • Pedi thinks it was an allergic reaction to the amoxicillin she was on for an ear infection. We changed antibiotics and put her on a steroid for the allergic reaction, because it was pretty severe. I didn't even think about the amoxicillin because she has taken that for ear infections in the past.
