Hi,
Four days after my DPT (diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus) vaccination, I have a very painful swollen lymph node sitting just above my R) clavicle.
I'm pretty sure it's from the vaccine, because I haven't been sick.
It's about an inch in length and quite noticeable (maybe I'm just being paranoid).
The swollen lymph is not red or itchy..its just VERY sore & tender. Its really annoying..erghh..it's making me really irritable (then again could be PMS haha). Its 'move-able' when I press it.
I've done some research on-line & apparently swollen lymph nodes could be one of many side effects from the vaccine. And all of a sudden when typing this, I feel quite feverish. I've just taken some paracetamol.
I'm a nursing student so it was compulsory for me to have this vaccination before I go out out on 'practicums'.
Just want to know whether anyone else has had experience something like this? and what happened etc..
The vaccination was called 'boostrix'.
