A. it's quite common post vaccination. Feeding your baby after the vaccination session could also help alleviate the pain To ease the pain, apply ice-packs gently on the site. This will help her counter the pain and soothe the inflammation.To do it the right way, take an ice-cube and rub it over your palms. Apply the cold icy water on the affected area by gently patting on the site. Remember directly rubbing an ice-cube on your baby s skin which is already inflamed can make the experience more painful than providing any relief. Fever soon after vaccination is normal and it subsides within a day or two. If this happens talk to your doctor and give your baby the right medication.
