Is Hard Skin Normal At Injection Site Post Vaccination?
Question: My baby is vaccinated 5 days before. Vaccine name isPENTAVAC PFS.it's second dose. But vaccinated area is very hard like a small stone... Will I give ice touch to that hard area....is it normal.... Baby is 3 months old
Brief Answer:
It is side effect
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.
It seems that your baby has developed injection site nodule. It will take a few eeks to disappear. Treatment is not necessary. Cold or hot compresses will not have much effect.
Nothing to worry and can be ignored.
Hope it helps
