Suggest Remedy For Pain In Arm After Tdap Shot
Question: I got tdap shot my left hand on sunday. My left hand still pain
Brief Answer:
It is common. Take pain killers, if severe.
Detailed Answer:
Dear,
I can understand your concern.
I would like to inform you that it is very common to have pain after this vaccine.
There is no need to worry about that. It will slowly resolve. In the mean time, you can wash that site with XXXXXXX warm water.
If pain is severe and persisting then you can use painkillers such as paracetamol on SOS basis.
It will slowly resolve.
If pain persist for more than 3 to 4 days or there is any redness, induration, swelling etc., then consult to your doctor. As it may indicate injection site infection and may need antibiotics along with pain killers.
Hope this will help you. If you have any other concerns please feel free to message me.
Thanks for contacting HCM.
