This type of pain can sometimes last for a few days after vaccination. Typically, the pain should gradually decrease within 2-3 days. To help alleviate the discomfort, you can try the following:
1. Cold Compress: Apply a cold compress or ice pack wrapped in a cloth to the affected area for 10-15 minutes to reduce swelling and numb the pain.
2. Pain Relief: If needed, you can give him an age-appropriate dose of pain-relieving medication like paracetamol (Tylenol) to ease the discomfort. Always follow the dosage instructions on the medicine label.
3. Gentle Massage: Gently massaging the area around the injection site may help reduce tightness or soreness.
If the pain persists for more than a few days or if you notice other symptoms like swelling, redness, or fever, it’s a good idea to consult your pediatrician to ensure that everything is okay.
