HomeQuestions & AnswersToday my baby received his 45-day (1½-month) vaccination at the government hospital. His leg has become swollen, and he has been crying a lot. We applied an ointment containing heparin and benzyl nicotinate (Thermohem ointment), but the pain hasn't reduced yet. He still cries even when he moves his leg. We also tried applying a cold compress (ice), but it hasn't helped much.
Are there any other options to reduce the pain and swelling? Will the lump at the injection site go away on its own? Also, how long will it take for the pain to subside?

RashmiMom of a 11 yr 10 m old girl2 weeks agoA. It can take about a day or 2 to subside completely so continue with the practice that you are doing keep an ice cube then you apply the ointment with 526 times in the day and if the pain is much you can always give paracetamol without fever also which you can repeat every six hours and if you see it is not getting better within maximum time of 72 hours and consult the doctor once
