My grandson, 12 months old, had a fever (101.6) and letheargy for two days. He developed a rash on his back yesterday, after receiving his MMR and varicella vaccines the day before. The rash is spreading to face, abdomen and extremities today. He is currently afebrile. Is this cause for concern?
Hi, Post varicella vaccine there can be a varicella-like rash in some patients, but it is self-abortive. I suggest you use a soothing lotion e.g. Calamine lotion over the affected areas. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
