Father of a 5 yr 10 m old boy4 years ago

Q.

Hello doctors My son was bitten by some insect on his left knee on Thursday. The knee area got swollen then and he was feeling quite itchy there. We applied ice pack and Coconut oil. Now it’s quite better and sweeping has also reduced. Tomorrow we have to get his dpt booster vaccination done. Can we go ahead with the vaccination?

A. Hello dear parent! There shouldn’t be any problem with getting vaccinated. If you are still concerned then clarify all your concerns from your doctor. Consult your child’s doctor for evaluation and advice. Follow your doctor’s advice diligently. Give your child a well balanced healthy diet and keep hydrated.
