Suggest Remedy For Lump In Lymph Node

Hi , 3 days ago I was given a TDap shot. The first 2 days, I felt sore on my right upper arm and could hardly lift my arm. Today, I noticed a lump on my supraclavicular lymph node and it's sore and tender to touch. Could this just be one of the side effect of the shot. Before I was given the shot, I had a cold which i got from my husband.

Hi..
Thanks for the query. .

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain swollen lymph nodes that are tender are most commonly indicative of infection in the body and mostly tender lymph nods indicates infection..

As you have also got a TDAP immunisation it can also be a cause as at times immunisation can cause symptoms of fever and swollen lymph nodes as they are antigenic components. .

If the lump is painful you can give him anti inflammatroy painkiller like Ibuprofen and also a short course of antibiotics can be advised after consulting a local physician or emergency service..

You should wait and watch for a period of 15 days and if in this duration if the lymph nodes starts resolving it's fine but if it does not you can consult your physician and get evaluated and a biopsy /FNAC can be diagnostic and can be treated accordingly. .

Hope this information helps. .

Regards.
