How to Handle the Red and Swollen Arm of a 2-Year-Old After Surgery?

Answer

If your 2-year-old experiences redness and swelling in their arm after receiving a vaccine, it’s important to first keep the affected limb still and elevate it appropriately. You can also use a warm towel for hot compresses. If hot compresses are ineffective and the redness and swelling worsen, accompanied by symptoms like fever, it may indicate an infection. In this case, seek immediate medical assistance and undergo anti-infection treatment.
