Patient's question:
Yesterday was the first time I got the hepatitis B vaccine. My arm hurts when touched, but there are no redness, swelling, or bumps. Does this mean the vaccination was successful? Did eating fried food cause a problem?Doctor's answer:
After getting the hepatitis B vaccine, it is normal to have arm pain, but there is no need to worry as long as there is no redness or swelling. After receiving the hepatitis B vaccine, you can eat fried foods. However, whether the vaccination was successful needs to be determined by checking antibodies later. In addition, during the treatment for hepatitis B, besides timely medical care, the patient's dietary condition and mental state are also very important. The patient must maintain a light diet and always keep a cheerful and optimistic attitude to avoid unnecessary interference in the complete recovery from hepatitis B.
