Hi. I think my 17 month old has had a prolonged reaction to a recent vaccine. He has been sick for 7 weeks straight. At a 15 month well check visit (at 16 months) my son had been going through day 3 of diarrhea and the doctor insisted on having at least one vaccine before we left the office. He received the last of his Hib. I should have stopped this at the first feeling of pressure. Since then he has been sick with a rash, thick stuffy nose, and now looks like he developed allergies to everything. A little history...
2 month shot visit he had a reaction, slept listless for 8 hours straight, coma like, he did wake once after me bugging him enough, for that 20 mins he was awake he screamed that awful painful shot cry and had a huge poo. From that point on we delayed vaccines. He would get a shot once a month. He seemed to do well with that... until now. Prior to the recent Hib vaccine, his last shot was in Oct. , the flu shot (reacted with 101 fever).
diarrhea, which turned out to be rotavirus 7 weeks ago... had Hib shot on day 3
thick snotty nose 6 weeks ago, days after shot, it came when the rota left
blistery rash along with hives 5 weeks ago, diagnosed with chicken pox
2 weeks later rash and hives still there, negative pox culture, developed pink eye or something, fever of 101, given antibiotics.
This goes on for a week more and we are sent to a dermatologist, she said his rash is viral and its because of the rotavirus... the derm diagnosed the rota 6 weeks after he had it.
So here we are week 7 of being ill. He still has an eczema / hive like rash on face, neck/chest area, and arms, irritated eyes, and still has thick yellow stuffy nose. It seems to "flare up" 2 times a day. It effects his sleeping and his comfort. I don't know what the next step would be. Maybe an allergist? Report doctor? Report reactions? Can the allergist detect vaccine allergy? Whats the alternative to benadryl every day? We are continuing to nurse and taking probiotics.
Thanks in advance for your help in this matter.

I second the recommendations for naturpath and DAN! doc. Some naturopaths also do DAN! procedures. i also highly recommend the book "Healing the 4 A's" (full title listed on my website).
