No color or so. Just a big bump. Immunisation was this morning. She is 4 months old.
Thanks.

Is it also a little reddish and warm?
Yep. That's a normal reaction. Try a cool compress or a little Tylenol if she's uncomfortable. It'll go away in a couple of days. If it doesn't or it gets bigger or hampers her movement, call your doctor. It's like the stiff arm adults get when they get a tetanus booster.

Yes it is very normal for the injection site to become swollen, make sure you give the baby infants tylenol for the pain. Youre lucky that it is only a bump I have seen thier thighs blow up and be red before...It is so sad when the babies have to get those shots and the DTP contains 3 different vaccinations and so that is why it has the most side effects.

Yes it is normal. She may also run a fever and be cranky. A cool compress can help with the swelling and Tylenol can help with the fever and discomfort. Good luck!

Any reaction is not 'normal'. You should report all reactions to your baby's doc. The CDC indicates that only 10% of doctors report adverse reactions to vaccines, how can drug companies improve on vaccines if all reactions are not reported?
