Question
After receiving the hepatitis B vaccine, the area where the medicine was injected has appeared again with a red swelling as big as the tip of a little finger, round. Now, besides the shot on February 19, 2010, what kind of assistance can I expect? Is this normal…
Answer
The issue may be related to poor drug absorption and inadequate anesthesia. Precautions: This is certainly not normal. I suggest using 3 grams of bing pian (ice powder) and 3 grams of mang xiao (niter), which are available at pharmacies. Dissolve these medications together in 80° Celsius warm water and apply a cold compress when the temperature is suitable. Be careful not to burn yourself. Generally, this method is effective. You can apply a cold compress 3-5 times a day, each for about 30 minutes. I hope this provides you with purchasing suggestions and references. However, for specific diagnoses, please follow the guidance of a local doctor.
