Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Pain , redness and crying are common after DPT vaccine . You can give paracetamol/acetaminophen for pain and fever .But pain , fever or excessive crying persisting after 48 hours of vaccination should be evaluated to rule out other causes. If cry is not inconsolable, baby is accepting feed , passing urine , active in between , it usually resolves in 2 days.
Take care.
