1st jabs, had to ring nhs direct

[LANNYNEWMUM]

Amy had her 1st jabs today and seemed ok for a while then later on she woke up screaming like she was in loads of pain which lasted for half an hour. I have been giving her calpol. I went to change her nappy when i saw her leg. Quite swollen (her whole thigh) and very red and hot. I was told to expect a small lump and a bit of crying! So i phoned nhs up who said the needle had possibly gone in too far. Then was told to phone local docs who said she might have had a reaction because the vacine was live. They want me to phone back at 8.30pm and tell them how she is. She's fast asleep now though.

<FONT color=#9900ff>Hope she is ok Lanny.  Ollies leg was red and hot too but no real lump to speak of.  He cried like that too but only when I moved him, I think his neck was sore.  My friends lo screamed for about 5hrs and had a really high temp of 102 until the next morning they were told to just keep giving him calpol every 4hrs.</FONT>

She seems alot better now. She's been asleep for an hr and her leg isn't so red. Hope she doesn't get upset again later (in the middle of the night)
