Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My baby is 3 months old. She is suffering from swelling on thigh due to vaccination. Can I use plaster to reduce it?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern. Local swelling after vaccination is the known side effect. Just apply ice over it for 3 to 4 times a day. No need to rub or massage, just apply ice. No need for plaster. It is local swelling, not a fracture where plaster is needed. It shall go over time and may take 7 to 10 days. If the swelling is persistent and painful, then you need to show the doctor.
