my 5 year old

got his 5yr shots (MMR etc..) and 2 days later he started eye twitching, and now has lower jaw jerking. He started school at the same time. I am not sure if this is from stress of school (he is adjusting well now) or the shots. We are trying the stress reduction (as much as one can with a 5 yr old!), and magnesium.
Can any of you guys let us know if these tics subsided, how long it took or if they are still continuing PLEASE.

If the tics persist it would be best to take him back to the doctor , starting school at the same time may not help, is he an anxious child ?
