A. No need to do anything because that is how BCG vaccine works. The baby won’t feel any pain and you don’t press that or apply anything on it. After a few days it will burst on its own and it will heal on its own leaving a scarWrite Your Answer Here

A. Hi it's normal.. The presence of the abscess tells you that the immunisation is working. It is not at all painful for your baby. Don’t try to scratch or treat. Wipe it with some saline water and leave it open to drain. There is no need for any antiseptic lotion or any creams at all, and don’t put a plaster on it either. It will heal by itself over time.

A. Hi mom Fever swelling and rashes are the common symptoms after vaccination. No need to apply anything on it. It will be fine on its own. If there is pain and the baby is crying then u can give calpol drops to ur baby.
