A. Post vaccination swelling may be a common thing specially after DPT vaccine which may be painful for two or three days and the swelling may remain even up to month so if it is not causing any pain or other symptoms nothing to worry. Swelling can be reduced by giving ice fomentatiton locally and paracetamol can be given for fever or hd pain. Thrombophobe ointment can be applied in acute pain and swelling .
