A. bcg vaccination which is given at birth in the upper arm will form a swelling by one or maximum two months and then it will burst open and then puds will come out from it and after that it will become a scar mark. you have to takze medical consultation if it days causing pain fever and discomfort to the child. also if the pus discharge is increasing or aggravating again you have to meet the doctor and locally you can apply t bact cream.

A. Hello dear parent! Without proper physical examination it is not possible to conclude anything. Consult your child’s doctor for a personal evaluation and seek further advice. Continue to exclusively breastfeed your baby well on demand. Regularly massage your baby with Babyhug cold pressed coconut oil
