Patient's question:
Our baby is 7 months old. Yesterday morning, he received the HIB flu vaccine. Today afternoon, we noticed that his arm is swollen and red. Otherwise, he is in the same condition as usual, eating and drinking normally. Doctor, is this considered normal? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
According to the issue you provided, the baby's arm became red and swollen after anesthesia for vaccination, which is a normal vaccine reaction. After vaccination, there may be many adverse reactions, such as redness, swelling, itching, fever, fatigue, dizziness, etc. The symptoms usually subside within one or two days. The person who receives the vaccine should keep the vaccination site dry and clean for 24 hours and avoid taking baths. This is the relevant introduction for the question: "Why is the baby's arm red and swollen after getting the HIB flu vaccine?" I hope it helps you.
