Question

After receiving the rabies vaccine, my baby has swelling on the arm with some discharge of the medication. Will this affect the vaccine’s effectiveness? Will the medication leak out from the swelling?

Answer

It is recommended to apply cold compresses to the injection site for 24 hours to promote drug absorption and reduce swelling. Additionally, spicy foods should be avoided and plenty of water should be consumed. These recommendations may help the baby’s condition, wishing for their health!
