My baby had a severe reaction to Rotarix. Has anyone else experienced this?
I gave my 2-month-old the Rotarix vaccine yesterday, and today she's been extremely fussy, has a high fever, and seems to be in pain. I'm really worried. I've read that these symptoms could indicate a severe reaction, but I want to know if anyone else has dealt with this. I'm not sure if I should go to the ER. I don't want to be overreacting but also don't want to ignore something serious. She had her first dose and we were recommended a second dose in a few weeks.
