[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The immunization schedule is shown here - DS probably had his first MMR shot.

Sounds like he has a reaction to the MMR - fairly common:

Why don't you call your pediatrician and ask for advice?  If there's still a high fever, might be worth a visit to the hospital. [/quote]

Thank you, no fever at all anymore.  I'm going to call first thing tomorrow in hopes pediatrician is open.  I'm hoping to not have to take him to ER - it's so expensive and the doctor's there don't know his history.  I guess I'll try to get some sleep and see how he is in the morning.  [/quote]  Don't dismiss Urgent Care Clinics. I use one instead of a primary care physician and my friends uses the same one to supplement his regular doctor because you are seen immediately (less time.money, and stress than ER). Not the commercials ones, go to one like DC Primary Care. [/quote]
