Patient's question:
The child received the 13-valent vaccine yesterday. A large bump appeared at the injection site. It feels hard and warm. What's going on? What should I do? Will it get better? Is there any need to take any measures? Is there any way to make the bump go down?Doctor's answer:
After most babies receive a vaccine, they may experience redness, swelling, heat, and pain at the injection site, or a feeling of warmth. It is recommended to use povidone-iodine for sterilization or to consume potato slices internally, which may be effective. Cold compresses can also help reduce swelling and prevent the area from getting wet. The above suggestions are for the question "What should I do if my child develops a lump after receiving the 13-valent vaccine?" and are hoped to be helpful. Wishing you good health!
