What should a parent do if their 18 mo. old just had his immunizations and then immediately got a high, lasting fever. The parent does not believe in any correlation between vaccinations and possible risk of acquired autism or other neurological impairments. A friend looking out for a friend...

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 from what I have read, it sounds like a severe (allergic) reaction to the immunization. I am guessing more then one was given? this makes it difficult in finding out which caused the high fever. The doctor DOES need to be notified, and this made a part of the child's medical records. hello all, I am putting this out there in hopes that someone may have some advice or knowledge....

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 Jill, Please make sure your friend does NOT suppress that fever, if it is still high, unless it is 105 or above. NEVER give Tylenol!! If anything is given it should be Motrin, but preferably let the fever do its work. In addition, give megadoses of Vitamins A and C and also some glycine and a good probiotic. I hope this reaches her in time!

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 I have to disagree with this, especially if your child has Febrile seizures. Abby goes over 102 and she starts to get that glassy look in her eye and get her over 103 and boom- Febrile Seizure. She had one last week that lasted 40 minutes. Thank God that we were in the peds office when it happened. She spiked the temp from the flu that is going around. Motrin is a wonderful thing and without it Abby would have continued for days having seizures. She spent a couple of days in Childrens Hospital last week and has missed school this whole week. This flu really wore her out. I always thought that 103 and up was dangerous for anyone to have. Perhaps I read some info wrong. I dont see the point in letting a temp go that high and running the risk of a febrile seizure. They are scary to watch and horrible for a child to go through. As a parent it is gut wretching to see your child go limp and stop breathing and watch their little lips turn blue and know that there is nothing you can do except try to keep the airway clear till the paramedics show up.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 That was actually a typo. I did mean to say 103. However my main point is that people always rush to suppress fevers. Febrile seizures are awful but we can't automatically assume a child will have one. 103 and up is a good rule of thumb for fever suppression. I apologize for such a significant typo. My main concern is the use of Tylenol, which severely suppresses the immune system. As I suggested, Motrin is the best choice if an antipyretic must be used. Most physicians recommend Tylenol for vaccine reactions, even prophylactically. This is a very dangerous practice and must be stopped.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 , Can you go into some more detail about why exactly Tylenol is not good? I'm just curious and want to know more. Inna.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 , Thank you very much for your reply. Unfortunately, the child remained lethargic for the next 4 days and was then taken back to the ped. who said the child did not have any reaction to the shots, but rather had an ear infect. and bronchitis. He was then given antibiotics!!!!!!!!! The child appears to be uncomfortable and irratable but the parents insist that he is " perfect " . These are my friends and know what I deal with with my own child, but yet they wont discuss it and insist their doc, who is rather old, has just plain common sense. Says, he will be fine. I have terrible forebodding about this. Nothing I say gets their attention. I just sit supportingly nearby. Can you believe it?
