Oh Toni that sounds really scary. Does that mean you have to have the next ones in hospital? You guys are really having a sucky time arent you...]]> Tue, 05 Sep 2006 09:35:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3584&PID=70229&title=immunisation-horrors#70229 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3584&PID=70211&title=immunisation-horrors#70211 Author: Two Blondinis

We had a VERY scary night after Caitlin had her jabs! She was fine all day long no redness around the jab sites so we thought we had gotten away with it.
About 8.30pm we were playing with her and I noticed her back was REALLY hot (for no apparent reason) - I took her temp and it was 38.4oC!!!!! Off to White Cross we go, they checked her heartrate and it was 211 (should be around 150-160) and she wasn't feeding properly, so we were sent off to Starship and spent the night there after blood tests and a catheta my poor little darling! But after a really good feed at 3am she changed back to her old self and within an hour or so her temp and heart rate returned to normal. It was the worst night of our lives and they can't say if she will react like that again to her other jabs ]]> Tue, 05 Sep 2006 09:01:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3584&PID=70211&title=immunisation-horrors#70211 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3584&PID=69051&title=immunisation-horrors#69051 Author: emeldee

I found giving a good dose of pamol before the shots and keeping it up for 24-48 hours afterwards helped. I also always had a flannel with some cold water on it to put on the site of the shots immediately after - since they are intra-muscular shots they can hurt!
Lots of cuddles, sleeps and food/drink as well.
Andrew has his 15 month shots next Tuesday. I've always found that getting his dad to take him to the vaccinations helped and made them more bearable (for me, not for Andrew) - and we try and time the appointment so that it is just before his regular sleep time. ]]> Tue, 29 Aug 2006 09:24:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3584&PID=69051&title=immunisation-horrors#69051 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3584&PID=68751&title=immunisation-horrors#68751 Author: Peace

I was advised to take rescue remedy and arnica for my labour and birth, unfortunately after I bought it I was told I was to have a cesarean so I stuck with the morphine! The week after my 6 weeks immunisations my MW told me that I could use these for Olivia! OMG I could have kicked myself for not using it sooner, Rescue remedy after the injections and some arnica a little later on. It did help a little and I felt better offering an alternative to pamol (even though I used that as well) and will probably use them for the 5 month jabs! ]]> Sun, 27 Aug 2006 19:07:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3584&PID=68751&title=immunisation-horrors#68751 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3584&PID=68648&title=immunisation-horrors#68648 Author: mum2paris

What was weird with Paris was that for the first 24 hours, it was fine.. done on the saturday morning.. was fine the next morning only a tiny dot and she was a bit grumpy, then sunday night she had a bit more of a red lump, but still considerably normal.. put some ice on it, gave her some pamol, when she woke the next morning it was like it.. usually if it is an allergic reaction it would be within the first 24 hours, which is why the doctor said it may have been infection... but, she had also had a really bad cough that winter.. on and off, along with other things.. the doctor later put it together that he thought possibly she had had a very mild mild case of whooping cough.. but could not confirm.. which may have been why she had such a reaction to the injection which contained the last component of the whooping cough vaccine.. cos her body had already fought it, so knew what to do and got to it.
I dunno.]]> Sat, 26 Aug 2006 20:30:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3584&PID=68648&title=immunisation-horrors#68648 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3584&PID=68592&title=immunisation-horrors#68592 Author: mum2emj

owe! i shouldnt of read the bad reactions! i hate needles and make hubby take my girls along for their ones. so far we havent had any bad reactions, except for the common being a bit unsettled and wanting a bit more feeding. my cousin had her wee boy done a few weeks back and he came out in a nasty rash.... had to stay at docs for a while... he has to have his next lot done up at the hospital i think, just to be safe.

In saying that.. Ayja is due for her 15 month imms and i am a little apprehensive because Paris had a big reaction to her ones - her leg got infected and went all black and hard and caved-in looking.. was about the width of her leg and half the length... so she ended up on antihistamines and antibiotics - cos they couldn't figure out whether she had had a reaction or the site had got infected by nurse error. I was not a happy mummy!]]> Fri, 25 Aug 2006 20:10:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3584&PID=68566&title=immunisation-horrors#68566 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3584&PID=68565&title=immunisation-horrors#68565 Author: mum2paris

It is quite common for them to feel like utter crap especially cos they are so little they have no idea what is going on and well - it hurts!! think about when you had you rlast jab and you'll know why they are so grumpy!

Pamol can help - but won't actually take away the pain of them being done, it can settle them a bit though, and afterwards can help with the pain etc in their legs. And like it's been said, lots more cuddles, they may want to feed for comfort, not be put down etc.. and sometime sin those instances it's ok to bend the rules out of usual routine. If their temp gets worrying, or the injection sites get any more than a little raised red bump then you need to go back - that's what the docs/nurses are there for.

Also, we have found we tend to take our girls for their imms on a saturday first thing in the morning... it may ruin the weekend if they are grotters - but at least if they are gonna start having any reaction it is still during the hours the medical centre is open, and we have the whole weekend to recover.. we can both take turns without worrying about one having to work the next day.]]> Fri, 25 Aug 2006 20:05:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3584&PID=68565&title=immunisation-horrors#68565 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3584&PID=68554&title=immunisation-horrors#68554 Author: caraMel

My daughter had a similar reaction to her 2 month needles. I dosed her up with pamol and gave her lots of cuddles and feeds. She was a little more unsettled that evening but was back to normal the next day. I hope your little guy is too.]]> Fri, 25 Aug 2006 19:17:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3584&PID=68554&title=immunisation-horrors#68554 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3584&PID=68549&title=immunisation-horrors#68549 Author: AlyAyde

My eldest was like that too. sorry no real advice. I find dosing with pamol before you go to the docs helps a bit. ]]> Fri, 25 Aug 2006 18:24:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3584&PID=68549&title=immunisation-horrors#68549 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3584&PID=68547&title=immunisation-horrors#68547 Author: emmaohara

My 3 month old has just had his second lot of injections and again had a horrid reaction with a fever and generally being a poorly little man .Did anyone else have this happen and has anyone any suggestions to make it easier on him for the 5 month ones? ]]> Fri, 25 Aug 2006 18:03:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3584&PID=68547&title=immunisation-horrors#68547
