MMRV vaccine side effects
Hi all - is anyone else's little one's still feeling side effects from the MMRV vaccine over 3 weeks later? My one year old had her MMRV vaccine over 3 weeks ago and for the last week, she has lost her appetite and is extremely fussy, I mean crying like she hasn't cried before. I've had to give Calpol every morning as it's the only way to settle her which makes me think she's in pain - maybe joint pain like the possible side effects state, as there are no visible rashes.
Thinking to book a GP appointment as this has been going for quite a few days now. Anyone in a similar boat?
I should note she also has a cough which she may have picked up from her nursery taster days. But this crying doesn't seem related to the cough

Hi. Could she be teething?
Our LO had a slightly raised temperature the night after the vaccine but that's it. She's picked up a cold as well after but that's probably from nursery.
My little one had a fever 1 week after it which they say can be normal. Each element of it works at different stages like the measles is 7-11 days and then mumps/rubella a bit later and chicken pox a little bit later than that. It’s hard to sometimes tell if it’s related to the vaccine, illness or teething 🙈. If you’re worried, always safer to get checked xx
Thanks all! She was fine in the end and I actually think it was a bug she picked up from nursery rather than the vaccine!
