Patient's question:
The baby received the DTP vaccine on October 27th. Recently, I noticed that the area where the vaccine was administered has developed redness and swelling again, and it's also peeling. It looks quite serious. How should this be resolved?Doctor's answer:
If the baby experiences this situation again, it may be caused by inflammation or drug reaction at the needle site. Currently, there is no sign of severe infection. After the recurrence, you can temporarily use povidone-iodine for sterilization. At the same time, pay attention to preventing the affected area from being pulled. If there is significant redness, swelling, and pain, it is necessary to seek medical attention for examination.
