During a recent Memorial Day Family Reunion my cousin revealed that she had given her 8 month old the first round of MMR (there was an outbreak and fear makes decisions sometimes) I was slightly concerned about it as my 7 month old was passing toys back and forth. I had made a couple statments to my mom about it and that was that..
Fast forward 1 week. my daughter developed a cough and weird exzcema like spots all over her back, I put it off as a cold/cough/runny nose that was caught at the cabin for the weekend or maybe an allergy to carrots that we just introduced. No fever, still a happy baby.
I just got off the phone with my cousin who took her DD in to the ped for a "weird rash" they are saying its a "reaction to the vaccine but don't worry"
The girls have the exact same symptoms (except I never noticed the fever) cough is the same, the conjunctivitis, the rash is the same except cousins DD is more severe. Is she having a reaction to her vaccine and my DD is experienceing a reaction to the shedding as these are the symptoms of measles Or did they catch something?
I am not trying to load my DD for an unneeded trip to the doc. She is doing well, the cough is going away and the spots are not as rough. What should I do? I am so nervous about it for some reason...
TIA
