A. okkkk No need to worry for pain, fever, swelling after vaccination.  Its common after vaccination   If baby is crancky , exessive cry, swelling and fever then   Give paracetmol drops to baby for 1-2 days  Fever, pain will decreases in next 1 -2 days  Don't apply anything over vaccination site  It cause decrease in the efficiency of given vaccine   Cont. to give feed as per demand  Keep ur baby well hydrated  Keep a watch on urine output  Baby should pass minimum urine 6-8 times per day  Swelling will take it's own time to disappear.

A. Hello dear parent! Just give a little cold compress. Continue to exclusively breastfeed your baby for better health, nutrition and hydration. You can massage your baby with Babyhug cold pressed coconut oil after swelling reduces. Good luck and take care
