No, no , no. No home remedies. Make an appoinment with your doc TODAY! when i had my vacine i didn't have any side effects. You definatly need to go see your doctor or go to the emergency room.

the swelling at the sight of the injection is normal. If you begin to develop a rash, fever, or headache, or if the area continues to swell call your doctor immediately.
The red bump is normal reaction to vaccines, the numbness you are experiencing could be because of the swelling near the nerve, causing there to be less sensation. take some ibuprophen and apply ice to the area. If it doesnt go away or if the swelling persists call your doctor.

Site reactions to vaccines are common and this includes swelling and soreness. But, you should call your doctor to let them know and to ease your worry. They should have told you of possible side effects when you got the shot. You can also try this website for info. about the vaccine--there might be some info. there. http://health.divinfo.com/

Skin will show a reaction against drug eruption. If your vaccination is subcutaneous than it is mostly normal.
And not perform anything on that area incase of it can get infected.
And also check the ingredients of the vaccine for if it contains anything allergic for you.
