518.0. "Innoculating babies and children" by HEART::MACHIN () Tue May 18 1993 11:02


	Hello,

	My son is 14 months, and he's due for his MMR (Measles, Mumps
	and Rubella) jab.

	Since he had a febrile convulsion at six months (result of 
	tonsilitis), our doctor advised a shot of gammaglobulin (not
	sure if that's how it's spelt) to counter the tendency of the 
	MMR jab to raise temperature. 

	'Course, now the jab's due the doctor's on holiday and his 
	colleague says don't bother with the additional GG jab. 
	(The MMR drug company concur with this).

	Anyone had any experience of anything to do with any of
	this?

	Thanks,

	Richard.

518.1	Can you reschdule...	AKOCOA::BOLAND		`Tue May 18 1993 11:14`	8
	First thought, can you reschedule until your doctor is back and discuss this with your primary doctor. It may give you more confidence in your decision. Just a thought. Rose Marie

	That was my thought too - if there is a difference of opinion, talk it over with the original doctor before making any decisions. -sandy
518.3	Reactions to shots?\	CSC32::L_WHITMORE		`Sat Nov 18 1995 00:11`	12
	I couldn't find another note that talks about reactions to shots, although I'm sure there must be one in here somewhere. Please point me in the right direction if you know where it is! My question is this - my 6 month old daughter had her DTP and Hepatitis-B shots yesterday - 1 in each leg. One leg has a huge lump where the shot was given and is very tender. My sons never had any reaction to their shots so I am not sure what to do about this lump. I had been told to try massaging the area but it really hurts her and she cries! Any suggestions? I plan to call the Dr. on call tomorrow and ask him, but thought I'd check here too. Thanks for any help. Lila

	Lila, You could try a little ice on it. alternated with a warm washcloth. the main thing is to keep her flexing the leg, and definitely call the dr. meg

	Meg - thanks for the reply - the lump in her leg has gone down considerably and it doesn't seem to be bothering her any longer. I jumped the gun like a usually do whenever there's something going on with my kids that I haven't seen before!! But I appreciate your suggestion. Thanks again. Lila
