Dear caring mother
Pain and swelling in thigh after DPT vaccination is common. Please apply ice packs frequently at local site. Syrup ibugesic 5 ml three times a day to reduce pain and inflammation. Provide him rest for early healing. If there is significant redness on thigh with fever infection may be a possibility and in that case visit to your pediatrician is advisable. hope this is useful.
