Patient's question:
After vaccination, there is about 1 cm of hard swelling at the injection site,......?Previous treatment and effectiveness: The vaccination was administered.
What help is desired: How to eliminate the hard swelling
Doctor's answer:
Apply cold compresses to the lump on the child's body. The DTP vaccine is generally used with aluminum-containing adjuvants such as aluminum hydroxide. This type of aluminum adjuvant is slowly metabolized, and a small number of vaccinated children may develop a lump at the vaccination site again. Generally, applying cold compresses is sufficient, and there are no significant adverse effects. If the baby experiences any adverse reactions again, it is advisable to consult a doctor for timely treatment. Parents do not need to worry excessively.
