Reaction at vaccine site (pic)

[Missmiller]

My 3.5 yr old had his pre school jabs. His arm started getting red on Saturday evening and has got worse. Should I be concerned? It was the DTaP jab

The first two pictures are the latest. The third is when it first started reacting yesterday

My LO had quite a bad localised reaction on 1 arm about 3 x 2 inches pink/red patch. The other arm was fine.
Can't find pic, but I was a bit alarmed at the time.
It settled in a few days without any intervention.
I did give him Calpol, but mostly because it seemed really sore for him when he moved his arms.

draw a circle around it in biro, if it spreads outside of the lines ring the doctor.

Just found this pic.
I had forgotten how bad it was.
I gave piriton too, but beware, it does not make my LO sleepy, but sends him a bit loopy!

My dd had a pretty bad reaction, I'll try and attach a pic. I called our gp who said as long as she was well in herself and not got a high temp that it was just a localised skin reaction and not to worry.

Thank you for the reassurance. I think I’ll wait and see how it is in morning x
