Side effects of 12 month vaccination?

sareer

My son had his 12 month vaccination three weeks ago and the nurse mentioned we may notice him having fever and being unwell in three weeks. Well, it's three weeks later and he has been having fever since Monday afternoon. What concerns me is that he still does and he refuses food, even his usual favorites and won't take calpol without a major struggle (both very unusual for him). How many days of this is normal? I have a new job and wouldn't easily be able to take him to the doctor without taking a full day off. Not that I mind that as much but just to add why I haven't been yet.

It's lasted 4-5 days here. Was an absolute nightmare.

Phone your GP and ask if it sounds serious enough to bring him in. If they say yes, then it's free and you should do what you need to do about work.

Paralink Paracetamol Suppositories are great for times like this. You can but them over the counter, great also for back teeth cutting. I'm fella gets mainly at night but when he won't take meds oral they are great. Hope they feel better soon

Yes I rang the doctor too but they said it was normal enough and to let it pass. I feel your pain though. Between that and the sleep regression around then, it was horrendous. Although sleeping through the night started shortly after so that was great.
