POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy6 months agoA. It is common for babies to develop a small bump or swelling at the site of the BCG vaccine, and in some cases, a small amount of pus may form as part of the natural healing process. However, if there is bleeding along with pus or if the area becomes red, swollen, or increasingly painful, it could indicate an infection or a reaction to the vaccine.
In most cases, these side effects are mild and resolve on their own, but it’s important to keep the area clean and avoid squeezing the bump. If the bleeding persists, the area shows signs of infection (such as increased redness, warmth, or pus), or if your baby seems uncomfortable, it’s best to consult your pediatrician for further evaluation and advice. The doctor may recommend proper care or prescribe medication if necessary to prevent complications.
