Question
The baby’s bottom swelled and became inflamed after receiving a vaccination. I’m not sure if it’s serious. It’s been a few days now. Is there anything I can do to help?
Answer
This could be a side effect of the vaccination. You can use medical alcohol for disinfection or apply a warm towel with cold water for cold compression to the affected area, observing if the swelling decreases. If the situation does not improve, or if the baby develops other discomfort symptoms, you should take them to the hospital for examination immediately. Remember to follow the instructions of healthcare providers after vaccination. If you have any questions, contact a doctor or medical facility as soon as possible.
