Patient's question:
The child is seven years old. I noticed a lump in her buttock, wondering if it's from a vaccination. It's been several months, and only now did I take her to see a doctor. I've been applying heat to her buttock every night for a week, but it hasn't improved. I've also given her a syrup to reduce swelling, but it hasn't worked either. I'm quite worried. I asked a doctor, and it's not red, but when I press it, the child says it hurts. What could be the matter?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you mentioned, the child has had muscle injections on their buttocks, and now there is a lump, right? In this case, it is considered that the lump may be caused by the drug not being completely eliminated during medication. Generally, this can gradually subside. You can also wait and see first. If it doesn't go away, it's better to go to the hospital for medical treatment. The above is the advice for the question "What should I do if there is a lump on a 7-year-old child's buttocks?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
