Question
My baby’s arm swelled after receiving the DTP vaccine. What’s going on?
Answer
The primary consideration is that the regional wound tissue heals faster, leading to swelling. Wound inflammation is mainly manifested as regional redness, swelling, heat, and pain. If there are no such symptoms, it cannot be said to be an infection of the wound. It is recommended that you apply regional heat compresses, physical therapy, and massage. In necessary cases, regional closed treatment can be considered.
