POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy1 Year agoA. A lump on the thigh after a vaccination is not uncommon and usually resolves on its own. This lump is typically a result of the body's natural response to the vaccine. Here’s what you can do:
1. **Monitor the Lump**: It's generally normal for a lump to appear at the injection site. It might feel firm or swollen and can last for a few days to a couple of weeks.
2. **Apply a Cold Compress**: Applying a cold compress or ice pack to the area for 10-15 minutes several times a day can help reduce swelling and discomfort.
3. **Keep the Area Clean**: Ensure the area is kept clean and dry. Avoid rubbing or massaging the lump.
4. **Pain Relief**: If the lump is causing discomfort, you can give your baby paracetamol (if recommended by your pediatrician) to relieve pain.
5. **Watch for Other Symptoms**: Monitor for any signs of redness, warmth, or fever, which could indicate an infection. If the lump persists beyond two weeks, becomes increasingly swollen, or if there are any other concerning symptoms, consult your pediatrician.
Most lumps from vaccinations are benign and will resolve on their own. If you have any concerns, always consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
