Patient's question:
Red and swollen for a week. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Don't know how to treat and what kind of assistance is needed: The child was anesthetized for the flu vaccine a week ago, and the face started to turn red. I always thought the child might have a fever because he loves to play, but today I heard from a friend that his child also...Doctor's answer:
Local side effects after receiving the influenza vaccine: Common pain, occasional redness, swelling, and itching.Systemic side effects: Common fever, fatigue, headache, dizziness, and nausea; occasional sore throat, muscle pain, cough, abdominal pain, joint pain, abnormal movement (increased/continuously increasing), dry mouth, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, allergic reactions, and chest tightness.
Symptoms are generally mild and should not be a cause for concern.
